2 found shot to death inside home in Oostburg, 1 in custody

OOSTBURG -- Officials with the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office are investigating after two people were found shot to death inside a home in Oostburg Sunday, July 30th.

According to a news release, two males were found dead as a result of gunshot wounds inside a home near 10th and Wisconsin Avenue in Oostburg. This, after a 911 call came in around 3:30 a.m. from the home.

A person of interest is in custody.

Neighbors said this happened in a close-knit community, where everyone on the block knows their neighbors -- except when it comes to those living in the home where this happened.

"I have no idea who actually lives there," Mary Termaat said.

"We'd never seen anybody outside the house. Very little activity," a neighbor said.

Termaat said she feels a little safer knowing a person of interest is in custody. But investigators remained on scene for more than 12 hours, collecting evidence and keeping part of the road blocked off.

With this incident taking place just days after the Oosburg State Bank was robbed, many neighbors said they're wondering when the normally sleepy community will get out of the headlines.

"It's sad. It really is. But I know the real world -- things happen. But for our little town, this is humongous," Termaat said.

The investigation is ongoing. Sheriff's officials said there is no danger to the public.
