Two Wisconsin officers were justified in the killing of the suspect who in the video could be seen engaging in gun fights with police that left a city firefighter dead in the crossfire last month, a prosecutor said.
Firefighter Mitch Lundgaard was a 14-year veteran of the Appleton Fire Department, Appleton Fire Chief Jeremy Hansen said at a press conference Thursday.
Lundgaard died in a local hospital hours after being shot at the Transit Center in Appleton, about 100 miles north of Milwaukee.
