The Elkhorn Police department says two people are dead after a shooting in a sports bar. At a news conference late Thursday morning, the Elkhorn Police Chief said the department had not yet identified a suspect in the killings.

Because the shooter is still at large, Chief Joel Christensen says people in the area should take "reasonable steps" to protect themselves.

Officers were called to the Sports Page Barr off Wisconsin Street for reports of gunfire just after midnight Thursday morning. Officers from the Elkhorn Police Department and deputies from the Walworth County Sheriff's Office found two bodies, a man and a woman, inside the bar.

The identities of the victims are not being released at this time.

Officers have streets blocked off at the intersection of Walworth and Wisconsin.
