HARTLAND, Wis.—Police say six people died in an apartment fire early Friday in the southern Wisconsin village of Hartland, not seven as authorities originally reported.

The cause of the fire at a four-unit apartment complex has not been determined, although Hartland Police Chief Torin Misko called it an “active criminal investigation.”
