Three family members were shot to death while camping in a state park in eastern Iowa Friday, and the suspected gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
MAQUOKETA, IOWA --
The three victims were related, Mortvedt said. He did not provide their names or ages, explain how they were related or provide a motive for the killings. "He was known to be armed. That of course heightened our awareness as well," Mortvedt said. Iowa allows people with permits to carry firearms virtually anywhere in the state. Officials did not say if Sherwin had a permit.
