2 killed in South Bend shootings, gunman also shot

South Bend police continue to investigate the fatal shooting of a man outside his house on the city's northwest side and the fatal shooting of another man across the street while walking his dog.

Police say that when they arrived on scene about 10 a.m. Sunday, a man with a gun began shooting at police. The St. Joseph County prosecutor's office says three officers returned fire, striking the gunman. The gunman was taken to a hospital for treatment. His name and condition have not been released.

The suspect has been arrested on an outstanding warrant from Marion County.

 The men who were killed were identified as 53-year-old Johnnie Avance and 55-year-old Donald Wayne Paris Sr. Autopsies for them are scheduled for Tuesday.
