ANTIGO, Wis. (AP) — A teenager accused of shooting two students at a high school prom in Antigo, Wisconsin, has died, according to a Sunday police statement. Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Jakob Wagner. A police officer who had been patrolling the school parking lot shot Wagner, the statement said. Wagner was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Wisconsin police say Wagner opened fire outside a high school prom, leaving three people injured.
Antigo Police Chief Eric Roller says in a statement that the shooter “showed up” Saturday night at Antigo High School and started firing at two people outside the building.
Roller says officers in a nearby parking lot heard gunshots, and an officer fired upon the shooter, “stopping the threat.” Roller says everyone at the prom was eventually “escorted from the school and are safe.”
The condition of those injured wasn’t immediately known, but Roller says all three were taken to the hospital.
