EC Man Facing Charges After Drunken Incident

The man who police say pointed a gun at an Eau Claire officer on Friday was released from jail yesterday.

Thomas Burback was in court yesterday. He was possibly shot by an officer on Friday after police responded to Burback’s house for a drunken domestic violence situation. The officer fired a shot at Burback after she said she saw him point a gun at her. Burback was taken to the hospital, but Eau Claire Police have never said if he was shot. A judge yesterday gave Burback a five thousand-dollar signature bond, and told him to return to court in the case in July. CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE OF THE STORY WITH WEAU 13 NEWS.
