Two Georgetown men died in a shooting Friday night, after one man shot the other and then turned the gun on himself, the Scott County coroner said.

Goble said the incident happened at about 8:40 p.m. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene at about 9:15 p.m., he said.

The identities of the men have not been released, pending notification of family members.

Georgetown police are investigating.
