Ironwood Murder-Suicide Victims Identified

The victims of an apparent murder-suicide in Ironwood have been identified. The Ironwood Public Safety Department says 83-year-old David Mukavitz shot and killed his wife, 77-year-old Connie Mukavitz before proceeding to shoot himself. Police say the two were in ill health, which may have been a contributing factor.
