The Webster County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a Sunday night shooting that left three dead.

According to a release from Sheriff Luke Fleener, a shooting at 2101 140th St. in rural Webster County was reported at 7:40 p.m. A juvenile caller told dispatchers that two people had been shot and the suspect had fled on foot.
