"Preliminary results from the Hennepin County medical examiner's office show Melissa Vasey shot her husband `multiple` times before turning the gun on herself, Rosemount Police Chief Eric Werner said.

"`We have a very unfortunate and tragic incident involving a married couple,` Werner said.

"There are no indications of a struggle between the couple, Werner said.

"`Details are not fully known what may have happened,` he said.
