Man Suspected In Wausau Area Shootings Dies Of Wounds

A man suspected in a string of fatal northern Wisconsin shootings that ended in a police shootout has died.

State Department of Justice spokesman Johnny Koremenos said Nengmy Vang, 45, died at about 1:28 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators said Vang got into a domestic incident with his wife and went to a Rothschild bank where she worked March 22. He shot two bank employees to death and then traveled to nearby Schofield, where he shot and killed his wife’s divorce attorney.

He then barricaded himself in his Weston apartment. Investigators say he shot and killed an Everest Metro Police detective as the detective was setting up a perimeter. Police eventually stormed the apartment and shot Vang.

Law enforcement previously said Vang suffered nonfatal gunshot wounds.
