The shootings happened just after 2:30 p.m. at  174 Berkshire Ave. near Jasper Street, Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said in a press conference. 

The man police believe pulled the trigger died of a self-indicted gunshot wound, reports said. It's unclear what sparked the shooting or how the victims are connected.
