FITCHBURG (AP) -- Bail is set at $1 million for a Fitchburg man accused of shooting at police after officers tried to coax him out of an apartment earlier this month.
Thirty-one-year-old Tommie Evans was charged Friday with three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, four counts of first-degree reckless endangerment and one count of gun possession by a felon.
Assistant District Attorney Shelly Rusch says Evans fired nine shots at the seven officers in what "appears to be an ambush laying in wait," missing three of the officers by only inches.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports the incident happened early on March 6 after family members reported Evans had "lost his mind."
Evans is scheduled back in court on April 13.
