FOX CROSSING, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- A Fox Crossing Park was closed Wednesday evening after an officer-involved shooting.
Fox Crossing Police Chief Tim Seaver says they were called to the Trestle Trail in Fritse Park for a disturbing situation.
“We were called for a man with a knife, and officers came and confronted the person.”
Chief Seaver said the man was acting erratically to people and towards officers.
One officer fired their weapon and struck the man.
The man died from the injuries.
The officer was placed on paid administrative leave.
Chief Seaver says the incident was isolated, but those who live near the trail are still not at ease.
“Scared, like I am only two blocks away. If there is police involved and someone is on the run and they have a gun, it is very scary,” a nearby resident told Fox 11.
Fox Crossing officials say Fristse Park was closed for a period of time and was reopend later in the evening.
DCI is continuing to investigate.
