A domestic violence suspect in Wisconsin reportedly shot a police officer before crashing his van into a school and roaming its corridors armed with a rifle. This tense situation unfolded over four hours before the suspect surrendered to authorities.

The chain of events began early Sunday morning when officers in Superior responded to a domestic disturbance call. Spotting the suspect’s vehicle, they attempted a traffic stop, according to a report by KQDS.

The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dylan Wallace, emerged from his van and fired a semi-automatic rifle at a police officer, hitting her multiple times before she was able to exit her vehicle. The officer returned fire, and was soon supported by a second officer who also shot Wallace as he attempted to escape in his van.

Wallace then crashed through the front doors of Superior Middle School, where he exited his vehicle once more. Surveillance footage captured him wandering the hallways with a rifle slung across his chest. He spent approximately four hours inside the school, eventually leaving around 7 a.m., when he was arrested without further incident.

During the confrontation, a third officer arrived and positioned his vehicle between the school and the injured officer until assistance arrived. Both the officer and Wallace received medical treatment for their injuries at a hospital and were released later that day.

Superior Police Chief Paul Winterschiedt said all three officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave, even the one. who did not fire and only placed his squad car between the wounded officer and the suspect. Their names have not been released, he said, because they’re considered victims.

The officer who was shot had been with the department for nearly four years, the chief said. The officer who shot the suspect was on the job for about 1 1/2 years, and the third officer had been with the department for nearly two years.

“They all handled themselves like seasoned veteran officers,” Winterschiedt said.

Wallace was charged with attempted murder, domestic abuse involving strangulation and suffocation, criminal damage to property, and discharging a firearm on school grounds.

Kathryn Schnepp said in a social media post that she was involved in the domestic dispute prior to the police shooting, KBJR reported.

“The man involved in the middle school incident and the police shooting was, at the time, my boyfriend,” she wrote. “We had attended his workplace Christmas party together, and on the way home, everything changed in an instant.”

Schnepp said Wallace began driving recklessly and, when she begged him to stop, “chose to crash the vehicle instead.” After the crash, she said, he became violent. She said she got out of the car, but he followed and she “was chased, strangled and beaten.”

She ran to a nearby nursing home for help, and from there police were called, even as Wallace followed her into the facility, and quickly arrived.

“I truly believe that if the police hadn’t been where they were at that moment, I might not be here today,” she said.

Wallace is now being held on a $2 million bond.
