Law enforcement immediately secured the residence upon arrival and found multiple gunshot-wound victims inside, both alive and dead, according to Blackburn. He did not specify how many people were killed and how many were wounded.

Multiple people were taken to North Big Horn Hospital about seven miles away in Lovell for emergency care.

The sheriff's office, Wyoming Highway Patrol and Lovell Police Department all responded. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigations is assisting in processing the scene.
