Three people were found shot dead in their Fish Lake Township home Sunday morning, the Chisago County Sheriff's Office reported.
Deputies found the bodies of the three, whose names have not been released by investigators, in the home northwest of North Branch.
Chisago County Chief Deputy Justin Wood said in a statement Sunday that deputies had been called because a family member could not reach anyone in the Brunswick Road home and requested a welfare check.
The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office will perform autopsies, according to Wood's statement. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the deaths with the Sheriff's Office.
