When officers from the Walled Lake Police Department and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene, they heard a gunshot and began to approach the home.

After searching the home, police found a 56-year-old woman fatally wounded with several gunshot wounds to her back.

The family dog was also found fatally shot. 

The Oakland County Special Investigations Unit and the Walled Lake Police Department are continuing to investigate this incident.
