A husband and a wife found dead from gunshot wounds in a West Allis home Monday night are believed to have been killed in a murder/suicide, police said.

A 3-year-old child was found unharmed in the house following the shootings in the 6200 block of W. Grant St., according to a news release from the West Allis Police Department.

Police went to the home shortly after 4 p.m. after receiving a call reporting that two people were fatally shot. Inside the home officers found the 27-year-old man and 23-year-old woman in a bathroom and the child in a bedroom.

The child was taken to a hospital as a precaution, according to the release.

The man was arrested March 8 after violating a restraining order the woman had filed against him and which expired March 22, according to the release.
