The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating an officer involved shooting incident involving a North Fond du Lac police officer that left a man dead. Shortly after 9:30pm Friday a North Fond du Lac police officer initiated a traffic stop in the Village of North Fond du Lac. The vehicle fled the traffic stop leading to a pursuit. The vehicle came to a stop after driving over a tire deflation device on Interstate 41 near County Hwy Z approximately one-half mile into Winnebago County. According to a DOJ press release the driver, and lone occupant, of the vehicle called 911 and reported they had a gun, and then exited the vehicle and approached law enforcement. A North Fond du Lac police officer shot the suspect and life saving measures were performed but the subject died from their injuries on the scene. No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident. The North Fond du Lac Police officer was wearing a body camera and has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.
