Sheboygan, Wis.(WHBL) - A 52 year old Two Rivers man was shot and killed by Sheboygan Police during a routine traffic stop in the city of Sheboygan early this morning. Chief Chris Domagalski stated during a news conference this morning that the 30 year old officer, a 7 year veteran of the department, stopped a car for speeding at 17th and Michigan Avenue about 1:30 this morning. The Two Rivers man got out of the car and wouldn’t cooperate with the officer. He pulled out a handgun and was tased, but it had no effect.

He said the matter remains under investigation and the victim's name is being withheld pending notification of relatives.
