A Kenosha County Sheriff's deputy died after being shot while conducting a traffic stop in the Town of Somers overnight.
A suspect was captured about three hours after last night's shooting and remains in custody today.
According to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department:
The deputy, whose identity has not yet been released, stopped a red 1995 Chevy Astro van for a traffic violation in a subdivision just south of Highway E and east of Highway 31 when he was shot about 11:37 p.m.
A backup officer arrived and called in that the deputy was down.
The deputy was rushed to an area hospital, where he died.
After the shooting, the suspect's vehicle remained at the scene and he was believed to have fled on foot.

Local radio station WLIP-AM reports the slain officer is Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr. I believe he served in the military, was given a police purple heart several years ago for receiving shrapnel wounds from a seperate incident, and leaves behind his wife of 15 years and an 8 year old daughter.
I believe the Feds wouldn’t be at fault in a wrongful death case because it is up to local police to deal with these criminals. Unfortunately, KPD and KSD has probably dealt with the suspect at some point in the past and decided to let him go, just like many other jurisdictions.
As a side note the deputy’s death came less than a day after the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, Kenosha police and Pleasant Prairie police held their annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony to honor those law enforcement personnel who have given their lives in the line of duty. In the furor over all of this, let us not forget the memory of Frank Fabiano.
I just watched channel 4s news conference and it is a down right shame. The officers was an 18 year veteran who had been shot back in 91 rescued a lady one time and had received the departments highest award.
The shooter on the other hand was a low down illegal immigrant who had not one, not two not even three, but several social security cards and alias. The you have Aldo whats he face claiming illegals are good people. Give me a brake....

Sorry
Wisconsin, on the Illinois/Wisconsin border
I’m sure the nice Hispanic feller just needed directions to his job, and somehow accidentally discharged his son’s toy gun into the officer.
if Kenosha is a sanctuary area, do they let the shooter go?
There was a story yesterday about a Border Patrol Agent found floating in a canal. I havent been able to find anything in the local paper about it.
Here are a couple of FR threads

This is 6 or 7 law officers killed since December by illegal aliens. Google it, it’s astonishing.
>Geraldo was on this morning going on about how the illegals dont engage in criminal activities...<
Are you serious?
“I heard this on the radio this morning as I was driving tractorman jr. to Shoreland Lutheran High School.”
Go to a real school...like Wisco!
There are two suits going now by parents of children murdered by aliens. Haven't heard the status lately. Of course the perps will have LaRaza, etc defending them with OUR tax dollars. The feds give LaRaza alone 5 to 10 MILLION dollars a year.
And he’s more than likely voting under each of those identities.
What a mess!
I’m wondering if this alleged shooter had a job, and if the person employing him is felling a little guilty right about now.
felling=feeling

Check that Franksville that should be Kansasville which is just south of Frankskville but I do think both towns play a big part in their being there you can drive to any of them within minutes from Racine or Kansasville
