'Person of interest' in fatal shooting of 3 in Chisago County home is found dead elsewhere

Officials have identified the three family members who were shot to death in their Chisago County home over the weekend, and they also disclosed that a "person of interest" in the shootings was found dead elsewhere a day earlier.

Found dead Sunday morning in their Fish Lake Township home on Brunswick Road were Darrell J. Mattson, 73, and Denise L. Mattson, 68, and their 47-year-old son Kirk P. Mattson, according to the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office.

All three suffered "multiple gunshot wounds," Justin Wood, chief deputy for the Chisago County Sheriff's Office, said in a statement Tuesday. The gun used to shoot the three has not been found, Wood said.
