11-2-17 police standoff-lawsuit dismissed

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the widow of a man killed by police during a standoff at a Wisconsin motorcycle shop. U.S. District Judge William Griesbach said Wednesday the actions of Neenah police officers Craig Hoffer and Robert Ross were reasonable. The officers shot 60-year-old Michael Funk as he tried to escape from Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah in December 2015. Police mistakenly believed Funk was the hostage-taker. An attorney for Funk’s widow plans to appeal the ruling.
