Neenah hostage situation: 1 dead, 1 in custody, officer released from hospital
Police were called to the 200 block of Main Street at Eagle Nation Cycles at 8:56 a.m. Within 30 minutes, police learned that hostages inside the building were in immediate danger of being killed. Wilkinson estimated there were more than three, but less than ten hostages. Officers were shot at while attempting to enter the building to rescue the hostages, and one Neenah officer was hit. He was treated at a local hospital and was released a few hours later. Wilkinson said the gunfire struck his ballistic helmet, which ultimately saved his life.
Wilkinson said between 75-80 officers were on the scene.
