three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds

Which came first, the death or the suffering? Once they were dead, they were no longer suffering from the gunshots.

I might be a bit too picky, but, I like seeing things logically and people should write that way.

In any case, if there is no danger to the public anymore, the police are indicating that it was a murder-suicide case.

“...where three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds, Essex District Attorney Paul F. Tucker told reporters at the scene. .....”

wow...today’s journalism at its finest...!! LOL, I had the same thoughts...they are dead but still suffering from gunshot wounds...and I question the use of the word “wounds” as well....no, you are not being picky...just very observant....

"three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds"

I'm not a doctor, and don't play one on Television.

But as a fat old (69 yr's) welder, who still takes on jobs, I'd say what we have here is premature ejaculation.

The democRAT leftist gorilla masquerading as a journalist, knows what it would take to do a proper constitutional amendment, so as to do away with the 2nd amendment.

But in their small minded world, they think if I can write / convey a GREAT STORY, (i.e. a good line of Bravo Sierra= Bull Droppings',) I / we shall overcome.

Occam's razor shout's out my thought's on the subject of these so called democRAT's Leftist with a byline.

"Suffer" can be used as a transitive or intransitive verb. One definition for "suffer" which is older, fading away, but not yet extinct is, "to undergo or experience," and I think that's the way it was intended here. IOW, "...three people were found dead, having experienced/sustained (i.e. "suffering") gunshot wounds.

Just my $0.02. That's the way I read it. It does sound awkward, but IMHO, not because it's incorrect, but a somewhat older, more formal usage.
