A husband and wife were found shot to death early Thursday morning at a Wisconsin bar when the wife worked part time as a bartender.

Emerson Weingart, 33, often sat at the bar while Gina Weingart, 37, closed the Elkhorn establishment at night, relatives told WISN.

According to its website, The Sports Page Barr closed at midnight on Wednesday, and a 911 call came in 10 minutes later to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, reporting shots fire inside.

When deputies arrived, they found the Weingarts dead.

Emerson Weingart’s father, Jeff Weingart, told WISN that his son called him at 12:09 but there was no one on the line when he answered the phone.

Family members said the Weingarts were married last June, and Jordan Barr, owner of The Sports Page Barr, said they were regulars at the club before he offered Gina a job.

“Their lives were just beginning, and I believe I speak for our entire Sports Page family by saying we are absolutely devastated by what happened,” he wrote on Facebook. “It is a despicable act of violence that has shaken all of us to our core.”

The Elkhorn Police Department and the sheriff’s office are investigating the incident and have not announced if they have identified a suspect or said if there were surveillance cameras inside or outside The Sports Page. It’s also not known who called 911.

A bullet struck the hair salon next door, its owner said.

“It was alarming,” Elizabeth Krause said. “This is really quite a quiet community and really a small town America and to hear that there was a shooting and two fatalities.”
