BEVERLY — A Hamilton police sergeant was found dead inside his sport utility vehicle late last night in an apparent suicide, hours after he allegedly shot and seriously wounded a Beverly police officer, officials said.

A late-night police search culminated back at the scene of the first shooting, outside a Starbucks off Route 1A in Beverly, where the body of Sergeant Ken Nagy was discovered in his Saab SUV.

‘‘He has taken his life,’’ said Essex District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett. ‘‘It is a tragic day.’’

Police initially responded to the Starbucks at 29 Enon St. at 5:48 p.m., where they found Beverly police Officer Jason Lantych wounded, Blodgett said at a news conference last night.
