SPARTA, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Police in west central Wisconsin continue to investigate what they call an attempted murder-suicide. Officers were called to a home in Sparta late Saturday night where they found an unresponsive 41-year-old man just outside a vehicle in a driveway, and a 23-year-old man inside the vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. The older man’s wife told police he shot himself, and he was pronounced dead at the scene — and the 23-year-old was flown to a La Crosse hospital where his condition was not disclosed.
Police say the men apparently knew each other, and the shooting incident was not random. The names of the two men were not immediately released.
