The Essex County District Attorney's Office said Richard Lorman, of Wilton, NH, was found dead at the scene Monday night. Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said Monday night that a 55-year-old man was the suspect in an apparent murder-suicide attempt that left a 33-year-old woman hospitalized with gunshot wounds. "That's speculation right now but that's what appears to have happened," Blodgett said at a news conference Monday night. "They were known to each other." The woman, who Salem Police Chief Lucas Miller said was also believed to be from New Hampshire, was Medflighted to a Boston hospital. The DA's office did not update her condition or identify her as of Tuesday afternoon.
