Investigation Continues into Officer Involved Shooting

Authorities have released the names of those involved in an officer-involved death in Chippewa Falls. 

The Wisconsin Department of Justice says Sergeant James Luckey shot and killed 44-year-old Bradley Barnum.  The incident happened earlier this month after Barnum fled a vehicle and appeared to brandish a handgun.  Investigators later determined the weapon was a B-B pistol.  Barnum was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving measures. 

The Division of Criminal Investigation is continuing its review and will submit findings to the Chippewa County district attorney.
