The trooper began following a car matching the description of
the suspect's vehicle around 5:30 p.m. local time in the city of
Fond du Lac before the gun battle, Fond du Lac Police Chief
William Lamb told reporters at a brief news conference.
Lamb said no other suspects were being sought and that the
Wisconsin Department of Justice was leading the investigation.
"We extend our sincerest condolences to the trooper's family and
to the entire Wisconsin state patrol family," Lamb said.
David Matthews, the administrator of the justice department's
criminal investigation division, said it was too early to
provide additional information about the shooting.
