On October 27, 2017 at 9:02 pm the Barron County Sheriff’s Department received a report from a female requesting help at 611 26th Street Chetek.
Deputies from the Barron County Sheriff’s Department, the Chetek Police Department, and the WI DNR responded to the scene and entry was made into the residence.
Deputies discovered three deceased individuals in the residence. Detectives from the Barron County Sheriff’s Department with the assistance of the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office and the WI State Patrol are actively investigating this case.
The deceased in the house were identified as John Hengst, 55 of Chetek, Brenda Turner, 55 of Chetek, and Natalie Turner 17 of Chetek.
Initial investigation shows that all three people in the house suffered gunshot wounds but cause of death cannot be confirmed until autopsy results are back from the Barron County Medical Examiner’s Office. Again, there is no danger to the public.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and the Chetek community affected by this tragedy.
