Questions remain after Cave Spring shooting

Shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday

ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – Investigators are still trying to figure out what led to a deadly shooting in Cave Spring Tuesday night.

Roanoke County police say two men, including the suspected shooter, are dead and a woman who was shot remains in the hospital.

Police tape is still up around the two homes and neighbors tell us they had a long history of problems.

Police spent a lot of time looking at a black car with one of its windows apparently shot out. 

There's still a lot that's unknown, but we do know the shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Neighbors tell us they heard about five gunshots and they believe it happened outside, in between the two homes.

"The gunshots, I mean to be talking on the phone with my door shut and bam bam bam bam. And I'm like, 'What in the world?' And like I said, I thought it was right outside my door," said Barbara Pence, who lives nearby.

A couple of hours later, Pence heard a SWAT team yelling for the suspect to come out with his hands up.

Police tell us that's when they found him inside a home, where it appears he shot and killed himself.

Police have not yet released the names of the victims or the suspect.

They also haven't confirmed that this was a dispute between neighbors.
