Standoff at motorcycle shop leaves 1 dead

NEENAH, Wis.

A standoff at a motorcycle shop in Wisconsin ended Saturday with one person dead, a police officer injured and one person in custody, authorities said.

Police said shots were reported at Eagle Nation Cycles on Neenah’s Main Street shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday, along with a report that hostages had been taken. Police responded, and nearby homes and businesses in Neenah, about 85 miles northwest of Milwaukee, were evacuated.

Chief Kevin Wilkinson said at a briefing Saturday evening that during the hourslong standoff, a male came out of the building holding a weapon and did not comply with police instructions to drop it. He said the person was shot at by officers, but also may have been shot at from inside the building. That person was taken to a hospital and later died, police said.
