Nina Police say they're investigating a murder suicide in the city Sunday afternoon.

Police say they responded to reports of shots fired just before 5 p.m.

When they got there, they found two people dead, a 57-year-old woman and 59-year-old man.

Investigators say evidence points to the man shooting the woman before himself.

Their names have not been made public yet.

Anyone with information that could help the investigation can leave it anonymously with Winnebago County Crime Stoppers.

A suspect in a hit-and-run crash in Madison was found hiding in a closet, according to the Madison Police Department.

They say a vehicle hit a 24-year-old while he was sitting on a bike at a bike rack outside an apartment complex.

They found the suspect hiding in a closet at the owner's apartment.

An annual autumn pub crawl in Oshkosh is scheduled for this coming weekend, but Oshkosh police are strongly discouraging attendance.

The pub crawl is an informal event where people, mainly students and young adults, go from party to party at various houses near the UW Oshkosh campus.

Police say the pub crawl has increasingly been associated with excessive alcohol consumption and disruptive, violent behavior.

There were weapons-related incidents at the last two pub crawls.

The city of Oshkosh is working with law enforcement on additional guardrails in order

to keep the public safe during the event, the City Council recently put an ordinance in place that allows police to break up a party if they think it's gotten out of hand.

Hunters can find season dates, regulation, hunting hours, and other information on the DNR website.

Program benefits are paid directly to energy, utilities, and fuel suppliers to help offset home heating and power expenses.

Qualification for the program is determined by household size, total income, and overall energy costs, with eligibility cap that households earning 60% or less of the state median income level.
