A suspected drunken driver shot and killed a Wisconsin sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop before running into some nearby woods and killing himself, authorities said Sunday. It marked the third Wisconsin law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty in just a few weeks, CBS Minnesota reported.
During a conversation about field sobriety tests, Jeremiah Johnson was "evasive," drew a handgun and shot St. Croix County Deputy Kaitie Leising in Glenwood, about 60 miles east of Minneapolis, the state Department of Justice said.
"After being struck, Deputy Leising discharged her weapon three times, but none of the rounds hit Johnson before he fled to the nearby wooded area," the agency said, adding that the incident was captured on body camera video.
