Authorities in St. Croix County, Wis., are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman who were found Monday night during a welfare check.
Deputies were called to a house in Hersey, an unincorporated community in the town of Springfield, around 9 p.m. According to a press release from the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office, the woman’s family hadn’t been able to get a hold of her and were concerned.
When deputies arrived, they found the bodies of both the woman and the man, as well as a gun.
Family members told investigators that the man and woman knew each other, but details of their exact relationship weren’t provided. Names were not immediately released.
“At this time, it does not appear there is an ongoing threat to the community,” the release states. “This is an active and ongoing investigation.”
The Wisconsin State Patrol and the St. Croix County Medical Examiner’s Office are assisting with the investigation.
