The Clark County Sheriff’s Office says the suspect, Gary Cooper, 63, and two victims, Tom Cooper and Tim Wolfe were found Saturday in the 17000 block of Michigan Road in Marysville.
According to police, the situation began with an argument between Gary Cooper and his brother, Tom Cooper at their mother’s home in Marysville.
