Two men found dead inside a home in Elkhorn
ELKHORN -- Two people are dead after shots are fired in the small community of Elkhorn.
The call to police came in at approximately 9:20 a.m. Saturday, October 10th.
Authorities are still trying to piece together what exactly happened to lead to the deaths of the two men found inside the home near S. Wisconsin and Frank Street.
The little community of fewer than 10,000 people prides itself on "living in harmony." But its peaceful aura was punctured with gunshots Saturday morning.
"It was hectic, chaotic, scary -- everything you could imagine," said Christy Doffek, neighbor.
Crime tape now cordons off the residence on Wisconsin Street where the men were found.
"I heard like a bang, bang," said Doffek.
Neighbor, Christy Doffek, thought her dogs were behind the noise, until her street flooded with law enforcement officers.
"You couldn't get down the road, you couldn't get in the driveway, there was sheriffs and cops everywhere," said Doffek.
Elkhorn Police Chief Joel Christensen says this may have been a murder-suicide or a double suicide.
"I couldn't tell you the last homicide we've had. It's been a number of years," said Chief Christensen.
