CHISAGO COUNTY, Minn. — The Chisago County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) is investigating after three people were found shot and killed inside a home.
Deputies initially went to a home on Brunswick Road around 8 a.m. to conduct a welfare check, because a family member of the home's occupants had been unable to reach them, according to a release from the office.
Upon arrival, deputies found three people who were deceased from apparent gunshot wounds, according to the release.
The CCSO's investigations unit and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension responded to the scene and do not believe the shooting was a random incident.
Chisago County Chief Deputy Justin Wood says his investigators are meeting with their BCA counterparts Monday afternoon, and he anticipates an update before the close of business.
The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct autopsies on the three victims to determine the official cause of death and will release their identities once family has been notified.
