New Hampshire authorities are investigating a shooting at a Dover hospital Tuesday morning that left two people dead in an apparent murder-suicide, MyFoxBoston.com reported.
According to sources, someone walked into the critical care unit at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, killed a patient, and then killed himself. The victim's identity was not immediately revealed.
A source for New Hampshire One said that the shooter was a man, who entered hospital at 6 a.m. and shot his wife, who was ill, before killing himself.

The Foster's Daily Democrat reported that a man took to his Facebook account prior to the shooting and posted: "I want to start off by saying this is going to be officially ruled a murder/suicide when in all actuality it is a double suicide." The report said the post went up at about 6 a.m.
Police did not confirm that account was the gunman's, but a woman who identified herself on the social media site as a relative confirmed that her brother and sister-in-law had died.
The man reportedly went on the post instructions on future finances and pet care.
