Officials: Son killed parents in Sawyer County, and himself

TOWN OF EDGEWATER - Sheriff's officials say the adult son of a couple in Sawyer County killed his parents and took his own life outside their rural home.

Chief Deputy Brigette Kornbroke says 41-year-old Eric Werachowski shot his father in the abdomen Saturday at the Town of Edgewater home he shared with his parents, then set fire to the house.

Authorities say 60-year-old Marilyn Werachowski called sheriff's dispatchers about 11 a.m. reporting that her son had shot her husband and set the house on fire. Dispatchers then lost contact with the woman.
