SUPERIOR, Wis. - A 12-year-old boy accused of stabbing his younger brother in far northwestern Wisconsin can be charged with attempted intentional homicide, a judge has ruled.
According to a criminal complaint, the older boy stabbed his 7-year-old sibling once in the back, twice in the abdomen and once in the chest in the Jan. 11 attack at a home on Solon Springs, about 45 miles (70 kilometers) south of Duluth, Minnesota.
The younger boy survived the attack and told police his older brother put a pillow over his face during the stabbing to mute his screams, KBJR-TV reported.
EAU CLAIRE â The Eau Claire County Department of Human Services has considerably better financial numbers this year compared to previous years.
Through the first 10 months of 2020, the department has revenue losses of $1.02 million and spending savings of about $980,000, resulting in an overall deficit of just under $40,000. That number represents far lower overages than last year. Through October 2019, DHS had losses of $2.69 million.
The DHS Board received this information during its meeting Monday. The three areas that constitute the vast majority of the revenue shortage are intergovernmental grants and aid, which has losses of $345,701; intergovernmental charges for services, which has a deficit of $571,037; and public charges for services, which has losses of $115,707.
