4 Family Members Found in Southeast Minnesota Fire Died From Gunshot Wounds
Authorities said the father fatally shot the three boys before killing himself, and investigators have not released a motive.
- The Mower County Sheriff's Office confirmed Wednesday that 38-year-old Levi David Christenson fatally shot his three sons—Oliver James, Felix Richard, and Calvin Jones Christenson—before dying by suicide inside their Grand Meadow home on Sunday, November 8.
- First responders discovered the four bodies after extinguishing a house fire on the 100 block of First Street Northeast around 11:30 a.m. Sunday. While the home sustained fire damage, gunshot wounds caused the deaths.
- The 14-year-old twins, Oliver and Felix, were freshmen at Grand Meadow High School. Sheriff Steve Sandvik stated the investigation remains active and is 'complex,' with no further information anticipated at this time.
- Supporters have raised over $60,000 via a GoFundMe for the boys' mother, Lauren Hosp, while community members gathered at St. Finbarr Catholic Church for a prayer vigil.
- Sheriff Sandvik wrote that the 'tragic and inconceivable tragedy' has touched the entire community. Officials continue to ask that the privacy of all involved be respected during this difficult time.
