A 1 million dollar cash bond has been set for the man charged with his parents. Forty year old Eric Koula appeared in LaCrosse County Court Friday afternoon, and has been charged with two courts of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide and one count of Forgery-Uttering. Chief Deputy Jeff Wolf said Koula went to his parents' town of Barre home May 21 and shot 65-year-old Merna Koula as she sat at her computer, then shot his 68-year-old father, Dennis, when he returned home from work around 6 p.m. Eric Koula of rural West Salem was arrested for two counts of first degree murder and one count of forgery yesterday.
