SLINGER – A 20-year-old man was shot and killed in the Village of Slinger late Friday night. According to police, Bo Morrison broke into a house and the homeowner shot him.

At about 12:50 a.m. Slinger police responded to a possible underage drinking party and loud noises at a house on the 100 block of Kettle Moraine Drive North. Officers weren’t able to talk with anybody there and it appeared there was no party. But they got ahold of one of the owners of that home over the phone, who told police she was at work, and her husband was sleeping inside.

At 2:00 a.m., officers were called to a house on the same block of Kettle Moraine Drive North. This time, it was a homeowner who claimed he had just shot an intruder in his house. Morrison was on the porch area of the house with a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Police say the homeowners are cooperating with the investigation. The homeowner who shot Morrison was interviewed and released after consulting with the Washington County District Attorney’s office.

The case is still under investigation.

They just interviewed one of the kid’s “best” friends. There was a party and they all ran from cops to avoid under-age drinking tickets. Supposedly the guy, went into the enclosed porch and was shot. Of course the inference is the homeowner is at fault, yadda yadda. I am sure there will be a lot more info as time goes on. The news station made a big deal about the homeowner not responding to requests for interview. Uh, no kidding. Reporters really are about worthless.

How about "I'm going by the lake" or "It's cooler by the lake"? Even the weather readers on the local TV channels use "by" instead of "near". This might be more localized as there is a sub-dialect known here as "Milwaukee talk".

That may have its roots in colloquial German.

At least he will still get to vote.

I don’t know where we get these repoters. I hope your tagline refers to the primary. I am not a Romney fan either. Nor was I a McCain fan. But I will vote for anyone or anything running against Obama.
