Authorities in Duluth are investigating the deaths of five people—including two juveniles—found in two separate residences in the West Duluth neighborhood Thursday.
Police discovered the victims, all suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, following a welfare check around 2:10 p.m.
Police confirmed late Thursday that the incident is being treated as a murder-suicide and emphasized there is no ongoing threat to the public.
DPD officers responded to a welfare check at a residence in the 6000 block of Tacony Street. Inside, they found 47-year-old Erin Abramson and 15-year-old Jacob Nephew, both deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say they were both Duluth residents and investigation suggests their deaths were intentional, directly related to events that were already unfolding in a nearby neighborhood.
