TOWN OF STEPHENSON, Wis. — A Crivitz man took his own life Sunday after fatally shooting his wife in the Town of Stephenson in Marinette County, authorities said.

The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office received a report at 5:13 p.m. Sunday that a man had shot his wife multiple times at a residence on South Fifth Street in the town, Marinette County Sheriff Randy Miller stated in a news release.

Officers from the department, in addition to members of the Marinette County Special Response Team, Crisis Negotiations and Drone Team, immediately established a perimeter around the residence where Troy D.
