A Bronx woman and a Manhattan man were shot to death inside a senior center in East Harlem, according to the NYPD.

Police say they responded to a 911 call at 2029 Second Ave., the New York City Housing Authority White Senior Center, just after 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

The NYPD says officers found Elsa Espina-Espinal, 55, and Wilgen Elias Severino-Tatis, 66, both with gunshot wounds to the head.

Paramedics pronounced both victims dead at the scene.

According to investigators, Severino-Tatis lived at the center.

The relationship between Severino-Tatis and Espina-Espinal, and whether the incident was a murder-suicide, was not immediately known.
