APPLE VALLEY, Minnesota — Two people are dead and one man is in the hospital after an incident inside an Apple Valley apartment building Wednesday night. 

Police said in a press release that they were called to a building in the 7600 block of 157th Street West just before 8:45 p.m. 

Multiple 911 callers told police there was a man in the building's hallways with a handgun, and some of the callers said they heard gunshots. 

When police arrived, they said they found a man in a hallway with an apparent gunshot wound. He received emergency care, was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive. 

Officers checked a nearby apartment, and found a woman dead from a gunshot wound.

While they were on scene, they learned of a male suspect who also lived in the building. Police said they executed a warrant, and when they entered his apartment they found a man they believe died by suicide.

Police continue to investigate, and say there is no further threat to the community.
