San Diego police were investigating a deadly shooting in broad daylight Wednesday in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.

A San Diego Harbor Police officer was shot during a gun battle in Little Italy with a person suspected in a deadly shooting that occurred about an hour earlier in the downtown area.

Officers said they received a call of a shooting at 8:42 a.m. in the area of Ash St. and Union St., then engaged in a shootout with the suspect in Little Italy.

The married victims died in their car Wednesday; their killer was fatally shot by Harbor Police a mile north about 45 minutes later.

The suspect connected to a shooting in Little Italy that left two others dead Wednesday has also died, authorities say.

With three dead, including the shooting suspect, and a Harbor Police officer hospitalized with a gunshot wound, San Diego’s homicide unit provided details of the department’s criminal investigation of the broad-daylight killings.
