Kelsie Martin and Hallie Helms, two 22-year-old University of Wisconsin-Platteville students, were found dead in a dorm room, with Helms' death ruled a murder-suicide. Helms, who was an elementary education major, died on the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, while Martin succumbed to her injuries after being airlifted to a hospital. The incident prompted a shelter-in-place order for the dormitory and led to the cancellation of final exams, with counseling services provided to students affected by the tragic events.
Helms died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a preliminary autopsy found.
Please take the time to take care of yourself and others,” said UW-Platteville Chancellor Tammy Evetovich.
It’s just really sad to think about the families that are affected by this,
Final exams have been canceled at the university, and counseling services are being offered this week.
