Kyle Clifford, 26, was found by police, who say they did not fire any shots at the suspect.
A manhunt was launched by police after the murders of the wife and two daughters of a well-known horse racing commentator.
Police and paramedics were called to the Hunt family home in Bushey on Tuesday evening following reports that three women had been found with serious injuries.
John Hunt's wife Carol, and two of his daughters, were found seriously injured at the scene.
They died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “This continues to be an incredibly difficult time for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.
“This investigation is moving at pace and formal identification of the victims is yet to take place. The premature naming of potential victims has caused great upset to the family when they should’ve been given the space to come to terms with their sudden loss.
“Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time.”
A London Ambulance Spokesperson said: "Ambulance crews and London’s air ambulance attended an incident in Lavender Hill Cemetery, Enfield, this afternoon (Tuesday 10).
"We treated a man at the scene and took him to a major trauma centre."
61-year-old Carol Hunt, her 28-year-old daughter, Hannah, and Louise, 25, were discovered on Ashlyn Close in Bushey.
Police launched a huge manhunt for Clifford, believed to be an ex-boyfriend of Mr Hunt's daughter, Louise.
