TOWN OF CAMPBELL, Wis. (AP) — Police are describing the deaths of two people on French Island, north of La Crosse, as a murder-suicide.

Campbell police say 50-year-old Kevin Manix died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after fatally shooting 46-year-old Patricia Manix.

Officers found the bodies early Wednesday after going to the home where Patricia Manix lived to check on her welfare. Court records show she had filed a petition for divorce last month.
