A 19-year-old man from Yiyili Community, south of Halls Creek, went on a shooting rampage on Tuesday afternoon.
At about 5.30pm the man started shooting at people on the community, finally killing a 35-year-old man, before turning the gun on himself.
He died from a gunshot wound.
30 people from the community barricaded themselves in the school and another 40 ran off into the scrub.
In unrelated incidents on Tuesday night, there was a stabbing in Wyndham and a prisoner at the Wyndham Work Camp died in his sleep.
