Christopher Stevens
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI (WSAU) – A teenager from Wausau is charged with attempted homicide after a shooting incident in the parking lot of a Wisconsin Rapids motel.
Christopher Stevens, 17, appeared in Wood County court on Wednesday where bond was set at $250,000.
A police report says Stevens approached another man in the parking lot of the Motel 6 in Wisconsin Rapids. The man was face-down and bleeding after being shot in the head.
Stevens told police that it was the victim who started the altercation and that he struck the victim in the head with his gun in self-defense. Doctors at Marshfield Medical Center said the victim was shot, with the bullet traveling under the man’s skin and then exiting.
Surveillance footage from the motel shows the two men fighting. The motive for the fight isn’t known.
Stevens is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on August 17.
