Deputies approached the home to break the tragic news, but made another grim discovery.
Five people have been found shot dead in an apparent murder-suicide in Wisconsin.
Police were called to a residence in Lake Hallie after multiple reports of gunfire at 10.30PM on Sunday night, and discovered the bodies of a man and woman. Two other adults had suffered gun shot injuries but survived, and were taken to hospital.
