Marinette County Man Found Guilty in Wife’s Shooting Death

A Marinette County man will be sentenced in October for the January shooting death of his wife.  Fifty-six-year-old Gary Rogge of Pembine pleaded no contest today to an amended charge of first-degree reckless homicide in the killing of Shelley Erickson-Rogge.  Rogge claims he shot his wife accidentally after they had been drinking all day.  He said they were shooting guns at the floor and he was showing Shelley a “quick draw.”  Witnesses told police they had been arguing in a bar the day she was killed and surveillance video showed Gary Rogge kissing and holding hands with another woman.  His sentencing hearing is October 14th.
