The man killed the older woman and critically injured the younger woman, before killing himself.
A large number of police resources were deployed to the area including the Tactical Response Group and specialist detectives.
St John WA provided emergency treatment to the younger woman before conveying her to Royal Perth Hospital, where she later died.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths is ongoing. The man in his 60s is known to the woman in her 50s through a mutual contact.
WA Police will continue to provide support and assistance to the family, friends and first-responders affected by this tragic incident.
WAtoday understands the incident was domestic violence related.
The crime scene is a few doors down from a church and close to Floreat Forum shopping centre.
“I heard tyres screeching, lots of sirens and then the occasional crack,” a Berkeley Crescent resident told Nine News.
“My mate lives just up the street, he said there was between eight and 15 shots.”
Police described the incident as being contained and said there was no ongoing threat to the public.
WA Police will be holding a conference in relation to the incident on Saturday.
