ONEIDA COUNTY, Wis. (WFRV) — The Wisconsin DOJ is investigating an officer-involved death that occurred on the morning of June 17 in the town of Lake Tomahawk.

According to a press release, around 10:30 a.m., two Oneida officers arrived at Lumen Lake Drive to arrest a subject in a felony investigation.

Upon contact with the officers, the subject brandished and shot a firearm. One officer shot the subject in return.

EMS pronounced the subject dead on the scene. No members of law enforcement or the public were injured.

Both officers will be placed on administrative assignment, per the agency’s policy.

WFRV will update this story as needed.

A Thiensville officer fired 16 shots at two stray dogs, killing one, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been tracking the fallout.

The officer, Richard C. McCormick, resigned during an internal investigation. The shooting is now under review by the Ozaukee County District Attorney’s Office.

Here’s what to know about the case and what to do if you encounter a stray or lost dog:

What brought the Thiensville officer to the Mequon intersection?

On April 23, 2026, Mequon police responded to a call shortly after 1 a.m. for two loose dogs at Highland and Cedarburg Roads. The Mequon officers decided to return in the morning, when they could seek help from the humane society. 

About two hours later, McCormick saw the dogs at the same intersection, outside his jurisdiction. McCormick stopped and tried to capture them. He was not responding to a new 911 call or other request for help. He was aware of the earlier call about the dogs.

What happened during the shooting?

Body camera footage obtained by the Journal Sentinel showed the dogs bounding toward McCormick after he opened a rear door of his squad.

Wisconsin and head coach Luke Fickell are on an absolute heater in June. The latest move? Edge Rusher Brody Pfannenstiel, who flipped his commitment from Texas Tech to the Badgers, following an official visit.

“I had a great time there,” Pfannenstiel told Badger Blitz. “My whole family had a great time there. They treated us really well, treated us like family. Just had a really good time.”

“I think it’s pretty cool. There’s a lot of people out there. I’m not a big city guy, but it’s a good environment.”

The three-star prospect committed to the Red Raiders in March, but outside linebackers coach Matt Mitchell never let off the gas pedal.

“He’s just showing I’m a big priority,” Pfannentiel explained. “He’s showing a lot of love to my and my family. It means a lot.”

“He stayed very consistent with me. That’s what stuck out with me, too. He even called me after I committed and said, ‘Congrats’ and everything. He’s stuck with me, he cares, and wants to still recruit me.”

Pfannenstiel also had scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas State, Utah, Louisville, Kansas, and others. Vanderbilt and Nebraska also made plays in the spring to try and flip Pfannenstiel.

The fourth flip for Wisconsin in the 2027 recruiting cycle, Pfannenstiel joins linebacker Keaton Wollan (Iowa State), offensive tackle Jack Tabbert (North Dakota State) and cornerback Mekhi Wlliams (Florida State) as two other prospects who switched up in favor of the Badgers.

UW is up to 23 commitments in its 2027 recruiting class. The Badgers have also edge rusher commitments from Darin Graham and Isaac Miller.

According to Rivals, Pfannenstiel is the nation’s No. 36 ranked edge rusher in the class of 2027. Stay tuned to Badger Blitz for more on his commitment…
