BRISTOL, Wis. — Kenosha County sheriff’s deputies have shot and wounded a man they say was driving a stolen vehicle connected to a Chicago homicide, officials said Thursday.

       Deputies were dispatched to the Benson Corners gas station in Bristol about 11:30 a.m. Thursday in an attempt to locate the stolen vehicle.

       The vehicle was located and deputies tried to make contact with the driver who was the sole occupant. According to sheriff’s deputies, the man fled from the vehicle and shot a police dog who was working to apprehend him.

       Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said during a news conference the suspect was shot in the abdomen and leg and was reported to be in surgery as of Thursday afternoon, the Kenosha News reported.

       The man has not been identified. Beth said he had no information on the Chicago homicide and did not know when it occurred. The Chicago Police Department said Thursday night it has not confirmed any connection between incidents in Chicago and Wisconsin.

       The dog was also reported to be in surgery and his condition was not released as of Thursday afternoon. Beth said that the dog is expected to survive. The sheriff said he had spoken to the K9 deputy and said he was “very emotional.”
