WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) – Shootings at a nail salon that left two men and a woman dead were a double murder and suicide, police said Wednesday.

Officers received a report about 8 p.m. Tuesday of shots fired at Queen’s Nails, said Chief John Suchocki Jr.

When they arrived they found the salon’s owner, 22-year-old Anh Qui Bui, and two men suffering from gunshot wounds to the head.

The men were pronounced dead at the scene, Bui died after being taken to Hartford Hospital. Investigators said one of the victims was the shooter and no one else is at large. The names of the other two victims were not being released until after family members notified.

“We believe everything was contained inside the business,” Suchocki said.

Suchocki said that one semi-automatic handgun was recovered at the scene. No other weapons were found, Suchocki said. Ballistics tests will determine if the recovered weapon killed all three victims, Suchocki said.

Bertha Murcier of Enfield, who until last year owned the building that houses Queen’s Nails, told The Hartford Courant that a married couple of Asian heritage owned the salon. They had a young child, Murcier said.

“They were very quiet and they kept the place very clean. I never had trouble there at all, and never had trouble with them, either,” Murcier said.

She said the couple opened the shop about six years ago and were good tenants, paying their rent on time and sometimes ahead of time.

Murcier and her husband, Michael, sold the building in April 2002.

Police said they towed two cars with New Hampshire license plates from the scene, but would not say how they were connected to the shooting.
