WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – The Winnebago County District Attorney’s Office says an Oshkosh Police officer was justified in the fatal shooting of a man.
Officer Aaron Achterberg shot and killed Isaiah Tucker on July 31 while responding to a burglary complaint.
Investigators say Tucker was attempting to steal a car from the mother of one of his children. He occasionally slept on her couch but was kicked out that night.
Tucker reportedly drove the car at officers, who investigators say fired a total of eleven shots at the suspect in a four-second span.
Tucker was reportedly struck by two bullets, one of which hit him in the left shoulder and resulted in his death at the hospital.
Investigators say Achterberg told him he was terrified that Tucker was going to kill him that night.
It is unknown when Achterberg and Roberts will be taken off administrative leave.
