The Wisconsin Department of Justice has closed the case into the June 8 fatal shooting of 82-year-old Ralph Slattery by Deputy Lance Lincoln. Sheriff Jerry Sauve said prosecutors don’t plan to file any charges.
Lincoln told investigators he shot Slattery after the man pointed a loaded shotgun at deputies who responded to a domestic disturbance at his home in the town of Beaver.
