PHILADELPHIA - Two people are dead after police say a man fatally shot a woman, then turned the gun on himself overnight in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.

Both the 27-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene. The woman, identified as Katie Dales, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head.
