The deputies arrived to find two men with gunshot wounds, including a 20-year-old man who died at the scene. An injured 23-year-old man was rushed to Tri-County Hospital in Wadena and then airlifted to a St. Cloud Hospital, where he was in critical condition and on life-support, the Duluth News Tribune reports.
Witnesses told investigators the 23-year-old shot the 20-year-old and then shot himself.
