Deputy Sheriff Bruce Williams was shot and killed after responding to a domestic violence call.
When Deputy Williams arrived at the call on South Street, the suspect opened fire with a high-powered rifle, striking Deputy Williams in the neck and upper shoulder area above his vest. The suspect then locked himself in his apartment.
Deputies fired tear gas and flash-bangs into the apartment to distract the suspect and entered the apartment. They found the suspect dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Deputy Williams had served with the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office for 14 years. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, parents, and three siblings.
