APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) - One man is dead and two others suffered non-life threatening injuries after an officer-involved shooting early Sunday morning.
Appleton Police, responding to reports of a shooting inside a bar, arrived at the Apple Pub on College Avenue and State Street just after 1:30.
One officer encountered the subject with the gun and fired his weapon at the man.
The suspect, now identified as 33 year old Jimmie Nontel Sanders, was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
Two adults, who were inside the business, were transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries sustained in the incident.
Mayor Tim Hanna is praising the police response.
"When this happens, how many other places would have that many police officers right there, immediately available?"
The preliminary investigation indicates this was an isolated event with no ongoing threat to the community.
Appleton Police say that all individuals associated with this incident are accounted for and that there is no active threat to the community.
The Green Bay Police Department is now involved in the investigation due to the shooting being officer-involved.
"With the recent state law any officer involved case that results in death are required to be investigated by an outside agency," said Lt. Jeff Brester.
Anyone who has information about the shooting should call the Appleton Police Department (920) 832-5500 or text CRIMES (274-637) with the keyword APDTIPS at the start of your message.
