A newlywed couple died together when they were fatally shot inside a Wisconsin bar, authorities said

Gina Weingart, 37, and Emerson Weingart, 33, were killed inside the Sports Page Barr in Elkhorn on Thursday, according to news releases from the Elkhorn Police Department posted on Facebook on Thursday and Friday.

Per the releases, the Walworth County Sheriff's Office received a call at approximately 12:11 a.m. local time reporting shots fired and "a person down" at the establishment.

Police officers from both departments were dispatched to the scene, where they found both Emerson and Gina dead.

The shootings are still under investigation and no arrests have been made, according to authorities.


Gina worked as a part-time bartender at the Sports Page Barr, and Emerson would keep her company there when she worked late-night shifts, WAFB 9 reported.

“It’s gut-wrenching," Emerson's father, Jeff Weingart, told the local news outlet of the couple's deaths.

"Somebody saw them. Somebody saw them. 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, and they better find him," he added of the suspect or suspects of the shooting.

Emerson was a department manager at a grocery store, and Gina also worked at Wisconsin Vision Associates. They loved to fish together and Emerson was an avid sports fan, while Gina enjoyed karaoke.
