A base spokesman said the suspect in a shooting at Marine Base Quantico in Virginia has been found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound along with a second victim.

Lt. Agustin Solivan says authorities entered the barracks early today where the suspect had barricaded himself after a fatal shooting and found him dead along with another victim.

The stand-off began after a shooting on the base around 11 pm local time yesterday.

No names have been released, but Solivan said authorities believe the suspect was a staff member at the officer candidate school at the base. Solivan says the two others were also Marines.

The base had been put on lockdown but it has now been been lifted.
