NEW LONDON, WI (WTAQ) – Outagamie County’s chief prosecutor is expected to discuss more about the fatal shooting of a man by New London police.
Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider will make a statement about the shooting at 11 a.m. Friday, according to New London police.
31-year-old Kole Knight was shot and killed after pointing what was later discovered to be a toy gun at officers on August 19. His fiancée said Knight was suicidal and that she didn’t blame police for shooting him.
Officers Ryan Denu and Brody Erickson were identified as the officers involved. They were placed on administrative leave.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice was called in to investigate. Officials were to then turn over the results of their investigation to Schneider to decide whether Denu and Erickson will be charged.
