GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Wisconsin Department of Justice has released several videos and photos which depict the scene and aftermath of the officer-involved shooting in Green Bay earlier this year.
The incident took place February 24 when police responded to a call for a welfare check to Joseph Biegert’s apartment on Plymouth Lane. Officers shot and killed the 30-year-old Biegert after they say he stabbed one of the cops.
A 911 call from Biegert’s mother was one of the pieces of evidence released Wednesday. In it she told dispatchers her son said he had just taken medication in an effort to hurt himself. She said that Biegert was depressed.
Dash camera video from the squad cars of the two responding officers was also released. The video, taken from outside the apartment, includes audio of the incident inside.
Officers Matthew Dunn and Brian Krueger can be heard talking with Biegert. An audible scuffle follows; the final incident report indicated Biegert began to resist.
According to the final report, the officers then used stun guns and batons, but Biegert gained the upper hand. The report states Biegert stabbed Dunn, who fired 5 shots to try to stop him; Biegert then turned toward Krueger, who fired 4 shots at Biegert.
Both officers were taken to the hospital, where they were treated and released. Biegert was pronounced dead at the scene.
