2 dead in apparent murder-suicide at Brooklyn Park apartment

Two people are dead in what authorities said is believed to be a murder-suicide at a Brooklyn Park apartment.

Brooklyn Park Police said officers were called to an apartment near Douglas Drive North and 64th Avenue at about 6 a.m. Wednesday on a report of shots fired.

Officers arrived at the scene and found evidence of gunshots through walls of a few apartments in the building. They were then able to determine which apartment the shots came from and found the door was barricaded, police said.

A SWAT team was called in and was at the scene for over two hours before entering the apartment and finding two dead people inside.

A homicide investigation is underway.

No other injuries were reported.
