CANTON, Ohio - Authorities in northeast Ohio say they believe a man killed his ex-wife and another man, then shot himself to death.

Police in Stark County's Jackson Township found the three bodies in a duplex home around 8 a.m. Sunday.

Jackson Township Police Chief Harley Neftzer says it appears 30-year-old Matthew Schneider of North Canton went to the home of his 32-year-old ex-wife, Brandy Schneider, and shot her and 20-year-old Derrick Busto. Police say Matthew Schneider then killed himself.

Neftzer says two handguns were found at the scene, about 45 miles southeast of Cleveland.

Police say officers were called after the bodies were discovered by a Schneider relative.
