The Wright County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible murder-suicide that happened Friday night in Rockford.

According to the sheriff’s office, at around 8:30 p.m., Wright County deputies responded to a residence located on the 4000 block of Woodhill Court after neighbors reported seeing an unoccupied vehicle running in the driveway for over an hour.

Responding law enforcement found a woman and man inside the residence, deceased from apparent gunshot wounds.

The investigation is ongoing, however, police believe the man shot and killed the woman before turning the gun on himself. Both knew each other and the sheriff’s office says they are not looking for any additional suspects.

The names will be released after all family members have been notified.
