— Duluth Police have identified the man they say is responsible for shooting and killing four people and a family dog in Duluth on Wednesday.

According to police, 29-year-old Brandon Taylor Cole-Skogstad shot and killed four members of the Barry family while they were sleeping in their home on the 700 block of East 12th Street. Police said Cole-Skogstad also died by suicide.


All of the victims were from Duluth. They were identified by police Thursday as Riana Lou Barry, 44, Sean Christopher Barry, 47, Shiway Elizabeth Barry, 12, and Sadie Lucille Barry, 9.

Duluth Police have categorized this case as a murder-suicide, and said that a gun was found near Cole-Skogstad's body inside the home.

Hermantown Police were initially called for a welfare check around 11 a.m. on April 20 at the 4100 block of Timber Lane Drive. Police said they believed Cole-Skogstad, the subject of that check, was experiencing a mental health crisis. Cole-Skogstad was not at home, but a subsequent investigation led authorities to the Barry's home in Duluth's East Hillside neighborhood.

Police were also notified of a social media post made by Cole-Skogstad, where he threatened to hurt himself and family members.
