Two males died from gunshot wounds suffered at a Hazel Dell convenience store, and law enforcement believes it was a murder-suicide between two people with no apparent connection.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Clark County Fire District 6, and AMR were dispatched to a shooting call at the 7-11 store at 6212 NE Highway 99 in Vancouver at 5:22 p.m. Friday.

First responders found two males inside the store with gunshot wounds. Both were transported to a hospital where both were later declared deceased.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit responded and is investigating.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.

Names of the deceased will be released at a later date by the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.
