One person has died following an officer-involved shooting in Oconto County.
The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation is handling the case and reports that the Sheriff’s Deputy conducted a traffic stop just before 3:00 Wednesday afternoon on a vehicle driving recklessly on I-41 near Frog Pond Road.
The driver of the vehicle was reportedly injured, and exited the vehicle, as did a passenger, who was armed with a knife.
The armed man refused to follow orders, and the deputy fired his weapon, killing the man.
The driver was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the deputy remained uninjured.
The identities of those involved have not been released.
