A western Wisconsin sheriff's deputy was shot and killed Saturday night, the third such on-duty shooting death of a law enforcement officer in the region in a month, officials said.
The St. Croix County Sheriff's Office identified the slain deputy as Kaitie Leising, 29, who had been with the department since 2022. The suspect also is dead.
