MILWAUKEE — A Marinette County deputy involved in fatally shooting a man last month has been cleared by prosecutors.
Marinette County District Attorney DeShea Morrow says Deputy Jesse Parr’s use of deadly force was justified when he shot and killed 74-year-old Duane W. Rich of Wausaukee on Nov. 27.
Authorities say Rich had come to a home in Athelstane to discuss a family dispute.
Authorities say he pulled out a gun, pointing it at his head. Authorities say Deputy Parr shot Rich multiple attempts to get him to drop the gun.
