Horicon, WI: 2 found dead at Horicon residence

HORICON — Horicon police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide that occurred late Tuesday afternoon at a residence in the 400 block of Maple Street in the city of Horicon.

Dispatch workers at the Dodge County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call around 4 p.m. from a person who reported that a person had been shot at the home. When police arrived on the scene, they found two deceased victims, a man and a woman, inside the home, said Horicon Lt. Adrian Bump.

“The person that discovered the victims was a family member who had driven over to check on them,” Bump said.

The identities of the victims are not being released pending the outcome of an autopsy, Bump said.

Bump declined to speculate whether or not the deaths were being investigated as a murder suicide, saying only that it was a death investigation at this time. The Horicon Police Department is expected to issue a press release later on Wednesday.
