An investigation continues as to why a 61-year-old woman was shot and killed in her own home.

According to the Northfield Police Department, the incident happened inside a home near the 1200 block of Jefferson Road.

The person shot was identified as 61-year-old Lilly Marie Kirckof. The identity of a shooting suspect is not yet known. The Northfield Police Department released a suspect due to lack of probable cause.

In the Northfield police press release, they were originally called to the home on the report of shots fired in the home and possibly related to an intruder. But now the police department feels it was not an intruder situation.

The Northfield Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension continue to investigate the case.
