WILLARD, Mo. (AP) — Police say the deaths of two people in a small southwest Missouri town are being investigated as homicides.

Thirty-year-old Brianna Sproul and 28-year-old Alex Chute were found shot to death Saturday on the front porch of a home in Willard.

Police Chief Tom McClain said Monday that the deaths are not believed to be a murder-suicide and the victims apparently were killed by a third party.

No other details have been released.

Willard is about 12 miles northwest of Springfield.
