14-year-old's death renews tribal policing question

Dec 18, 20170

ODANAH, Wis. - The fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy by a sheriff's deputy on a northern Wisconsin reservation has renewed discussions over whether the tribe should be policing itself.

Eighth-grader Jason Pero was killed by an Ashland County deputy about a month ago outside his home on Bad River Band reservation. State investigators say the boy approached the deputy with a butcher knife and refused commands to drop it.
