Law enforcement authorities in Wisconsin are searching for the person or persons responsible for killing a newlywed couple who were gunned down inside a bar where the wife worked as a bartender. Gina Weingart, 37, and Emerson Weingart, 33, were both shot and killed on Thursday, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Elkhorn Police Department, deputies with the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office at about 12:11 a.m. on Feb. 1 responded to a 911 call reporting “shots fired and a person down” inside of the Sports Page Barr located at 29 1/2 S Wisconsin Street.

Upon arriving at the scene, deputies and officers from the Elkhorn Police Department said they discovered the bodies of a male and a female — later identified as Gina and Emerson Weingart — inside the bar suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

The agencies are being assisted in the ongoing investigation by the Walworth County Medical Examiner’s Office, the Wisconsin State Crime Lab, and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

No arrests had been made as of Monday morning and authorities have not speculated about a possible motive.

Emerson Weingart’s father, Jeff Weingart, told Milwaukee ABC affiliate WISN that he was devastated by the news and wanted the person responsible to be found.

“It’s gut-wrenching, Somebody saw them. Somebody saw them. Somebody saw them,” he told the station, referring to whoever pulled the trigger. “I don’t care, you don’t pull something like that off. I can’t believe that it was just her and him in the bar. So somebody saw them, and somebody had to give a description of them, and somebody had to see the car when he drove away in.”

He added that authorities “had better find him.”
