Mounds View police investigating after 2 found dead inside home

The Mounds View Police Department says they’re working on a death investigation in the city.

According to Mounds View Police Chief Ben Zender, officers were called to the 5200 block of Greenwood Drive for a welfare check just before 8 p.m. on Sunday.

When officers arrived, they could see a person lying on the floor inside of a home, adding that person had signs of trauma. After forcing their way inside, officers found that person, as well as another person, had both died.

Although police say both people were shot, a gun was recovered at the scene, and as of this time, investigators believe there’s no danger to the public.

No other details about the two people found inside the home have been provided. They’re expected to be identified by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner after autopsies are done, and family members are notified.
