2 Dead in Murder Suicide in Kelly Wisconsin

Couple Allegedly Had Marital Problems In The Past

Bayfield county officers responded to a call of a shooting in Kelly Wisconsin Sunday morning.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the bodies of Shelly Johanik and her husband Randy Loppnow in the front yard of the couple’s home.

Johanik had died of apparent gunshot wounds. Loppnow was transported to St. Mary’s hospital in Duluth, where he later died.

Investigators believe Loppnow deliberately shot his wife and himself, and made the call reporting the shooting.

The couple allegedly had marital problems in the past. There was a petition for divorce a year ago which was reconciled, but police had never received any domestic violence calls from the household

 Johanik’s 13 year old daughter was asleep in the house when the shooting occurred.  She is now with her biological father.

The incident is still under investigation.
