Police in Port St. Lucie are investigating a domestic incident that resulted in three people being shot Monday morning, NBC affiliate WPTV reports.
The incident happened just before 8 a.m. in the 5000 block of Northwest Hann Drive.
Port St. Lucie police spokesman Sgt. Frank Sabol said the shooter, 32-year-old Aundra Allen, and his estranged wife, who just delivered the couple's baby four days ago, were involved in a domestic dispute.
Allen had been in Miami, where he lives, while his 27-year-old wife had been staying at her parents' house in Port St. Lucie.
Sabol said Allen drove to the home in St. Lucie County and encountered his mother-in-law, Sheron Thomas, in the driveway as she returned from taking the wife's 7-year-old child to school. Thomas confronted Allen, and he shot her multiple times.
Thomas ran to a neighbor's house for help. The neighbor then called police.
Police said Allen then entered the house and shot his wife in the back.

Two small children, ages 2 and 4, were found inside the house. The children's aunt, who has also been staying at the parents' house, is taking care of the children.
