A man and a woman were shot to death in an Upper West Side apartment by a man who then apparently killed himself on Friday night, the police said. Some neighbors said they heard what sounded like gunshots, and one notified the doorman, but the police were not called until 5 p.m. on Saturday, the authorities said. Residents of the 10-story co-op building, at 123 West 93rd Street, near Columbus Avenue, said they heard bangs or pops and a scream about 8 p.m. on Friday. Law enforcement officials said that one resident alerted the doorman, who went upstairs to the eighth-floor apartment and knocked on the door, but got no response. The three bodies were not found until after 5:10 p.m. on Saturday, when the building's superintendent called the police after speaking to the resident who had initially contacted the doorman, the officials said.
