The search for the suspects in La Crosse County’s triple murder is shifting to the Green Bay area. La Crosse County Sheriff Jeff Wolfe yesterday identified Khamthanet Rattanasack and Nya Thao as suspects in last Friday’s killings. Two of the victims in the triple murder were also Asian. The sheriff is not saying why they believe the two are in or around Green Bay, but deputies say they should be considered armed and dangerous. No one is yet offering any

The Wisconsin National Guard is short about 10-million-dollars for paychecks, and commanders aren’t sure what’s going to happen. The guard last week said Congress has not yet reimbursed the National Guard Bureau for the massive troop deployment to Washington, D.C. earlier this year. The lack of federal reimbursement means the Guard Bureau has not sent Wisconsin the 10-million-dollars earmarked for paychecks through the end of September. Commanders in Wisconsin say they are looking at places and programs to cut because of the lack of money. Wisconsin Congressman Bryan

Governor Tony Evers’ veto of a bill to end federal jobless benefits will stand.   Wisconsin Assembly Republicans failed today in an attempt to override the governor’s veto, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed.  Opponents to maintaining the 300-dollars-a-week supplement from the federal government say it is an incentive not to work.  Supporters say it is money needed by Wisconsin families and ends up going back into the Wisconsin economy.  The payments are scheduled to stop in early September.

A rare sight is caught on camera in Vilas County.  Brothers Brandon and Kyle Busch War were heading back to Eagle River from vacation in northern Wisconsin when a pure white deer crossed Highway 51 right in front of them.  They snapped the picture before the deer wandered into the woods.  Officials with Protect the White Deer say about one in every 20-thousand deer is a white deer, which have been protected in the state since 1940.

The Walnut Street Bridge in Green Bay has a new name.  Governor Tony Evers signed a bill today renaming the bridge over the Fox River the Bart Starr Memorial Bridge.  The renaming honors the legendary Packers quarterback who died two years ago at the age of 85.  Starr led the Pack to five NFL titles.

The drama is over as Aaron Rodgers is at Packers training camp.  The Pro Bowl quarterback arrived in Wisconsin late last night and reported to Lambeau Field early this morning.  Rodgers and the Packers front office had been at odds for several months, but it appears the team is ready to move forward.  The first practice is tomorrow and if weather permits it will be open to the public.

Health officials are expected to issue new mask guidance today.  NBC News reports it has to do with masking up in areas where the spread of the virus is high.  The report says new data suggests those who are fully vaccinated could have higher virus levels than first believed.  The sources say they could infect others because of that.  The CDC said back in May that vaccinated people don’t need to mask up in many indoor places.

An hours-long standoff in Chippewa Falls ended with two arrests yesterday, but the man police went to capture is still on the loose. Chippewa Falls Police called out the SWAT team and used gas to force people out of a home where they thought 35-year-old Kane Berg was hiding. He’s wanted on a number of charges including disarming a police officer and having an illegal gun. Officers say Berg was not home. Chippewa Falls Police are continuing to search for

The three people killed in last week’s triple murder in La Crosse County were staying in a hotel in Onalaska before their deaths, and investigators say they likely knew whoever killed them. La Crosse County’s sheriff yesterday released pictures of the victims. All three pictures are mugshots. Several agencies are investigating the case, but no one is saying anything about a motive or how the three were killed. Investigators are asking anyone who knows anything to please reach out.

There’s no word when the lights will be back on for everyone in northern Wisconsin. A line of powerful storms cut across the state last night and into early this morning. About 12-thousand people lost power in Vilas County, another 75-hundred lost their lights in Oneida County, and a few thousand more in Lincoln County lost electricity as well. There are no reports of major damage or injuries from the storms.
