Three people died in a murder-suicide in an Apple Valley home in what authorities Sunday described as an act of family violence.
Police said they were called to the home shortly after noon Saturday when a person reported that several people inside had been shot.
Investigators found two men and one woman inside, all dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
In a news release Sunday afternoon, police said they are not looking for any suspects and that no one in the surrounding community should fear for their safety.
Public records show the home in the 13600 block of Upper Elkwood Court is owned by a 60-year-old woman. Her sons, ages 27 and 23, also lived there.
Police said they are talking to friends, relatives and neighbors to sort out what happened. Names of the victims will be released once positive identifications are made.
Investigators and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension have wrapped up their preliminary work at the home.
