At 6:00 p.m. near Deer Park and Wards Chapel roads, officers say a double shooting occurred after a mother exchanged custody of her 2-year-old son with his father.

Both the mother and son were taken to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds and are listed in stable condition.
The father was later found in his home suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities.
