DOJ: Troopers fatally shoot driver after pursuit in Fort Atkinson
Law enforcement began life-saving measures, but the driver succumbed to injuries at the scene.
FORT ATKINSON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating a fatal, officer-involved shooting that unfolded in Fort Atkinson on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 9.
Wisconsin State Patrol attempted a traffic stop on WIS-26 between Watertown and Johnson Creek around 12:30 p.m.
A passenger got out of the car and was later apprehended. The driver fled the scene, prompting a pursuit.
During the pursuit, according to the DOJ, the driver fired shots at law enforcement. The pursuit continued southbound on WIS-26 until the vehicle hit stop sticks and exited the highway near US-12, coming to a stop on the median.
A high-speed law enforcement pursuit that apparently started in Johnson Creek and concluded at the Fort Atkinson city limits on Wednesday ended with both lanes along Highway 12 shut down for hours as authorities and UW Medflight were at the scene.
Just shortly after noon, authorities from the Wisconsin State Patrol and Fort Atkinson Police Department converged at the intersection of State Highway 26 and U.S. Highway 12 where the pursuit ended.
The chase, which involved state police, never entered the City of Fort Atkinsonâs jurisdiction.
State Patrol and Jefferson County Sheriffâs Office personnel were stationed at the highway by the bypass, with an ambulance nearby.
