Woman Killed During Delco Child Exchange Friday: Police

UPPER DARBY, PA — A double shooting that took a woman's life last week was a domestic incident involving children, police said.

The shooting happened Friday on the 200 block of Copely Road, according to Upper Darby Police.

When police were called to the area for a report of a shooting, they found a woman in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with a gunshot wound. First responders worked to save her, but she died from her injuries.

Also found in the vehicle was a man suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

He is in critical condition at Penn Presbyterian Hospital.

Police said three children — ages 6, 4, and 1, according to Action News — were inside the vehicle at the time of the incident. All are safe and have been reunited with family.

NBC10 reports the man and woman were meant to exchange custody of children, and they went into the back of the car while their mom was in the driver’s seat. The father got into the passenger seat, and the two started arguing, which lead him to shoot the woman, then himself.

Their identities have not been released.
