A man accused of luring authorities with threats of killing himself and then fatally shooting a deputy sheriff and wounding another deputy who tried to help him during a 12-hour standoff in Ohio had his bond set at $10 million Monday.

A shackled Wade Edward Winn, who appeared to have injuries on his face, was in Clermont County Municipal Court in Batavia for his initial hearing on charges of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder in the weekend shooting in Pierce Township, roughly 20 miles east of Cincinnati.

Authorities say Detective Bill Brewer died from his wounds. The other deputy, Nick DeRose, was shot in the ankle. He was in court for Monday’s hearing along with several other members of the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office.

Prosecutors said Winn faked killing himself during the standoff, and the two deputies were shot through a wall when they tried to enter the apartment to assist him. Prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
