MILWAUKEE, WI — Six people were found dead Sunday at a home on the city's northwest side, police said. Investigators believe the five men and one woman found near N. 21 Street and W. Wright Street were homicide victims, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office said in a statement. Autopsies will be performed Monday. Each of the victims had gunshot wounds and weren't named, the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. Milwaukee Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson called the discovery of the victims "horrific."
