BOSTON, Mass. — Prosecutors say the suspect in the shooting of two engaged doctors inside a luxury Boston condominium faces two counts of murder.

A spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley says Bampumim Teixeira will likely be arraigned in his hospital room Monday. It could not be determined if he has a lawyer.

Police found the bodies of 38-year-old Dr. Lina Bolanos and 49-year-old Dr. Richard Field on Friday night while responding to a report of a man with a gun.

Police say Teixeira opened fire when officers confronted him, and officers returned fire, injuring Teixeira. He was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

Bolanos was a pediatric anesthesiologist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Field also was an anesthesiologist and worked at North Shore Pain Management.
