Two victims were found on the road outside a hotel, while the third victim died from their injuries in hospital.
The 69-year-old gunman reportedly shot and killed his ex-wife's partner, 48, and her 63-year-old mum, who was a Ukrainian national.
He then reportedly chased and shot his ex-wife, 42, who was also of Ukrainian origin.
She is currently at the Rizzolo hospital in Lacco Ameno.
The attacker was also rushed to hospital after he turned the gun on himself, and died later.
The shocking attack took place on Saturday at around 6:30pm on the island of Ischia in the Cuotto area in Forio.
Local cops said the area is still cordoned off while they continue to investigate the circumstances of the attack.
State police and volunteers are helping with the investigation.
The shocking attack comes after a shooting left a mobster's niece dead in a nightclub as part of a suspected mafia war last year.
Antonia Lopez, 19, was reportedly killed as scores were being settled between gangs involved in drug trafficking and extortion.

The young woman was gunned down at Bahia nightclub in Puglia, Italy, as Michele Lavopa, 21, allegedly sought to kill a different man - Eugenio Palermiti, 21.
Lavopa handed himself into police after his mother convinced him to and confessed, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno reported.
He has now been charged with voluntary homicide, quadruple attempted homicide, and possession and carrying of a firearm.
The three involved were all scions of different criminal gangs, with Lopez pals with target Palermiti.
And in 2021, two young brothers were killed by a crazed shooter, with the boys holding their father's hand as they died.
David and Daniel Fusinato, aged five and 10, were shot while playing in the street in the Italian town Ardea, near Rome.
Their grandmother, Sonia di Gennaro, said the boys' dad - Domenico - was with them until the very end.
She told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "They died holding their father's hand.
"The ambulance arrived too late, it took half an hour."

Putin general, 57, ‘has arm and leg amputated' as he fights for life after Ukrainian strike on Russian column in Kursk
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOP Putin general is fighting for his life after a brutal Ukrainian strike blew up a Russian column in Kursk – reportedly leaving him with devastating injuries and multiple amputations. Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev, 57, was hit on the Rylsk–Khomutovka highway in the Kursk region early on Saturday, according to Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Russian Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev was severely injured in a Ukrainian strike in Kursk Credit: East2West 7 The 57-year-old general reportedly had an arm and a leg amputated Credit: East2West 7 He was airlifted to a Moscow hospital and is fighting for his life Credit: East2West The decorated officer – deputy commander of Russia's North Group of Forces – was urgently airlifted to the Vishnevsky Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow where surgeons amputated an arm and a leg, the Kyiv Post reported. A pro-Moscow source admitted: 'He is alive, but in serious condition [after] traumatic amputation of the arm and part of the leg.' Ukrainian forces also blew up an ammo depot in occupied Melitopol a day earlier, killing marines and fighters from Ramzan Kadyrov's notorious 'Akhmat-Vostok' Chechen unit. HUR gloated: 'There will be just retribution for every war crime against the Ukrainian people.' Bloody track record Abachev has been at the heart of nearly every Kremlin war in recent decades. He graduated from the Kharkiv Higher Tank Command School in 1989 before fighting in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the Second Chechen War, Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia, and the terror campaign in Syria. 'For each of these 'bloody feats,' Abachev was personally awarded the Order of Courage by Putin,' reported Since 2022, Abachev has played a major role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, commanding the 2nd Army Corps of the so-called 'Luhansk People's Republic.' Ukraine cut Putin's two-pronged frontline breach in HALF in wake of Trump summit 7 Ukrainian sources accuse him of war crimes against civilians in Lysychansk. Putin himself previously decorated Abachev with the Hero of Russia – Gold Star for 'courage and heroism.' He also received an award from occupied Luhansk for his role in the bloody takeover. In August last year, amid surging Ukrainian cross-border operations, he was appointed commander of Russia's border-cover group in the Kursk direction – where he was now taken out. Humiliating blows The strike on Abachev is just the latest in a string of humiliating Ukrainian hits on Putin's top brass. Maj. Gen. Mikhail Gudkov – Russia's Deputy Navy Chief and another Hero of Russia – was killed in July during a suspected HIMARS strike on a command post in Kursk. In April, Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik was eliminated near Moscow. 7 This attack is part of Ukraine's strategy to target senior Russian commanders, aiming to weaken their military Credit: East2West 7 Abachev (left) commanded Russian forces in Ukraine and was accused of war crimes Credit: East2West 7 Abachev was previously decorated a Hero of Russia – with a Gold Star for 'courage and heroism.' Credit: East2West Ukrainian Telegram channels have already circulated footage allegedly showing the burning wrecks of the Russian convoy in Kursk after Abachev's column was smashed. The attack comes as Kremlin forces in Kursk push to seize territory across the border – with Zelensky facing mounting pressure to concede ground to Putin to secure a peace deal. Analysts say Kyiv is intensifying strikes on senior commanders to weaken Moscow's chain of command and sap morale on the frontline. Each successful hit is seen as both a psychological and tactical blow for Putin's faltering war machine.

Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after ‘asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault
It comes after a migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault on Friday ASYLUM RAGE Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after 'asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTI-Asylum protestors have gathered outside the Britannia Hotel again today. The Pink Ladies group waved Union Jack and England flags while others let-off smoke flares in the street. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Pink Ladies Anti Asylum Hotel Protestor gathering outside the Britannia International Hotel today Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Demonstrators waved Union Jack and England flags while donning pink outfits Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 It comes amid growing unrest Credit: George Cracknell Wright It comes after a migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault after entering a woman's flat on Friday. The incident occurred in the Isle of Dogs on Wednesday night before he was detained by nearby members of the public. He was arrested by police on suspicion of common assault and he remains in custody. MailOnline reported that the man was a migrant staying in a Canary Wharf hotel. He reportedly entered the woman's house after being told to "go back to the hotel" where anti-migrant protestors were gathered. The 22-year-old woman whose flat he entered was arrested on Wednesday evening. Channay Augustus has since been charged with a number of offences including possession of an offensive weapon, affray, assault on an emergency worker, common assault and possession of cannabis. The affray and common assault charge relate to an incident at the Britannia Hotel in Marsh Wall which occurred on Wednesday evening. It concerned an alleged attack on a security guard at the hotel. She is due to appear in court later this morning. The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests after it was used for migrants arriving into Britain. It was closed to paying customers and converted into taxpayer-funded 'surge' accommodation for illegal arrivals in the UK. Earlier this week a coach load of asylum seekers were seen running into the four-star establishment under the cover of darkness. The Sun previously reported how mattresses, drinks and bed frames were shipped into hotel, which branded itself as the 'perfect' place for tourists to spend a weekend. 9 A migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault after entering a woman's flat on Friday in the Isle of Dogs Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Huge banners have been displayed reading: 'We're not far right but we're not far wrong... stop the boats' Credit: George Cracknell Wright The 500-room hotel – said to have 'superb views over London' – was designated for asylum seekers in a move that has angered anti-migrant protesters who staged peaceful demonstrations outside. Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach, with most dressed in grey tracksuits. The first arrivals were taken in at around 1.40am to be given rooms. They were helped by masked security guards working as private contractors for the Home Office. The use of the flash financial district hotel, one of around 210 hotels in use for asylum housing, was previously branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers. When open to the public, a standard room had cost as much as £425 a night – though it will cost the Home Office £81 a night. Amenities include a games room with a pool table and gym, though it is unclear if migrants will be allowed to use them. An indoor pool and sauna are thought to have been shut down. A Tower Hamlets Council spokesman told The Sun previously: 'We are aware of the Government's decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. 'It is important that the Government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place." The Home Office previously said: 'We inherited a broken asylum system from the Tories with costs spiralling out of control. 'As part of the plan to restore order and close all asylum hotels by the end of the parliament, we are boosting border security, substantially increasing removals of those with no right to be here. 'We are also tackling the Tories' wasteful contracts by ending the use of more expensive accommodation and moving to cheaper options.' 9 The Britannia has been designated for asylum seekers Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Use of the hotel to house asylum seekers has been branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers Credit: George Cracknell Wright More to follow...
