DA investigating two cats shot on French Island
Bodies found this week,
cats shot in last month
Two cats were shot by a man on French Island, and the district attorney’s office is trying to find out why.
It will take the La Crosse County DA a couple weeks to investigate animal cruelty charges against 52-year-old Richard Gilbert.
Bodies of the cats were found this week at a house on Walnut Street, but a witness said the animals were killed last month.
Gilbert’s niece apparently told police about the shootings.
Gilbert was released from jail after a court appearance on Wednesday. He’ll come before a judge again on April 20th.
