At this time, it is unknown which of the four victims died from the shooting, but the three others were transported to area hospitals for treatment.

Meanwhile, as authorities continue to investigate the incident, they are reportedly searching for the involved vehicle described as a black four-door car, which was seen at the BP gas station with the two injured people.

The Wheatland Constable, Wisconsin State Patrol, Twin Lakes Police Department and Kenosha Police Department are assisting.

The Report will have more on this developing story following a news conference, which will be held this morning at the Kenosha Public Safety Building, according to Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth.
