Minnesota Corrections Officer Killed in Wisconsin Standoff

Tyler Abel, a 42-year-old Minnesota corrections officer, was shot and killed by officers in a western Wisconsin standoff over the weekend. Abel had exited his house with a long gun to confront the officers who had responded to a domestic disturbance call. The two law enforcement officers who fired their guns are on administrative leave, and the Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating. Abel was well-liked and highly regarded by many staff at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater where he worked.
