FOND DU LAC, WI (AP)-- Authorities say a carjacking victim was killed by an armed robbery suspect accused of fatally shooting a Wisconsin state trooper.
Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve says the body of a man believed to be in his 60s was found Tuesday afternoon near a running pickup truck along a road east of Wausaukee. He says investigators identified the truck as the vehicle stolen earlier from State Bank of Florence in Wausaukee.
The sheriff's office says the bank robbery was reported about 1:43 p.m. and the man's body was discovered around 2:35 p.m.
Fond du Lac Police Chief William Lamb said at a brief news conference late Tuesday that the state trooper, Trevor Casper, 21, of Kiel, Wisconsin, was following the suspect's vehicle about 5:30 p.m. when a shootout that killed both of them occurred.
An investigation is ongoing.
