La Crosse Hunter In Trouble
A teenage hunter from La Crosse is facing six criminal charges, including reckless homicide, in a Rusk County shooting death. The 17-year-old (Ryan Korish) faces trial in adult court for the shooting in March of Patrick McFarlane, who was hit by a stray bullet while shoveling snow. The charges include recklessly endangering safety, negligent use of a weapon, and obstructing an officer by allegedly lying about the shooting incident, which happened while a group from La Crosse was hunting coyotes. A complaint was filed last week. The charges carry possible penalties of more than 25 years in prison.
