SCHOFIELD, Wis. (WSAW) - A local police officer is among the four people killed in a series of shootings in the Wausau area Wednesday afternoon.

Everest Metropolitan Police Chief Wally Sparks says an officer in his department died in the line of duty. He declined to identify the officer at this time. The other victims also were not identified.

"I would like to send all my thoughts and ask everyone listening, send thoughts and prayers to all the families and keep them in your thoughts and prayers and with our officers," he said.

Chief Sparks said one person is believed to be responsible for the shootings and that person is in custody. Police don't believe there's any further threat to the public.
