Two people found dead over the weekend in Price County died of gunshot wounds in an apparent murder suicide, officials confirmed Wednesday.
A man and woman were discovered early Saturday at a home on South Minnow Lake Road in the town of Elk. Officials say a third party called the Price County Sheriff’s Department at about 4:15 a.m. Jan. 27 notifying them of a possible suicidal man who had just killed his wife.
Deputies arrived at the home and discovered the couple, identified as Patricia and Richard Cooper, dead inside. Both the man and woman were from Cottage Grove, Minn.
No additional details were released.
