A woman in Auburn was shot Friday morning in a home on University Street.
Police tell NEWS CENTER Maine they responded to a call around 9:30 a.m.
According to an Auburn Police Dept. press release, when police arrived at the University Street apartment, they found a woman on the back porch who had suffered from gunshot wounds.
She was taken to Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) in what police described as critical condition.
The man who is believed to have shot her ran from the scene. A deputy with the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Dept. found the suspect's pick-up truck in Turner near Twitchell's Airport. Auburn police and the deputy searched the area and found the suspect in the woods, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police identified the suspect as 40-year-old Daniel Brown of Auburn. He was also taken to CMMC. Police say he later died of his injuries.
