Two apparent residents of a Boston luxury condominium have been found dead inside the building, the police said.

Adding that the suspect in their deaths was shot multiple times after exchanging gunfire with police officers, police said.

Officers were called to the Macallen Building on Friday night in the South Boston neighborhood in response to a report of a man with a gun.

Commissioner William B. Evans says a man, identified as Bampumim Teixeira, of Chelsea, fired on the officers when they confronted him at the door of a penthouse condo and police fired back.
