A couple from Wisconsin was found dead inside a car just days before celebrating their 1-year wedding anniversary.

The Harvard, Illinois Police Department said in a news release that the couple were found when an officer on October 6 noticed a parked car with its hazard lights activated. When the officer went to look inside the car, both were found dead. They were later identified as Rachel Dumovich, 29, and Brandon Dumovich, 30, from Sharon, Wisconsin, the McHenry County Coroner’s Office told NBC5.

Police said both people had gunshot wounds, adding a gun (O)was found inside the car. The police department didn’t release additional details on how the couple died, but said the McHenry County Major Investigative Assistance Team was activated for the incident.

While police told nearby residents to shelter in place after finding the dead couple, it was “later determined there was no ongoing threat to the community.”
