Police officers shot and killed a man who they say confronted them with a shotgun outside a residence in Appleton.
Sgt. Dave Lund tells USA Today Network-Wisconsin that officers responded to the house shortly after 6 p.m. Monday following a reported disturbance involving a weapon.
Lund says multiple officers fired at the man when he confronted them with a shotgun. Lund declined to specify the number of officers involved. None were hurt. The man who was killed wasn’t immediately identified.
