WAUSAUKEE - At least one person is dead after a man robbed a bank in Marinette County and started a gunfight with a Wisconsin State Patrolman on Tuesday, according to Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve.
Sauve says a man entered the State Bank of Florence in Wausaukee around 1:45 p.m., pulled out a gun and fired a lone round from the handgun. No one was reported hurt at the bank, but Sauve says the suspect then proceeded to rob the bank of cash and steal a bank employee's vehicle.
Police later responded to a call about a male victim found on Jermac Road east of Wausaukee near a pick-up truck that was still running. Sauve says the officer on scene determined the man, who was believed to be in his 60s, was dead. Officers searched the area and later found the stolen vehicle from the bank.
