Door opened to gunfire

Efrocino Munoz, 31, and Angela Godinez, 38, who were shot several times by a gunman when she opened the door to her apartment on Bruce Street near Karen Avenue Monday, were in critical condition this morning.

Metro Police believe the victims may have known the gunman. Detectives are following leads, but no arrest has been made this morning, Lt. Ted Snodgrass said.
