Police release bodycam video of officer-involved shooting of Janesville standoff suspect

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has released bodycam video of a fatal officer-involved shooting in March after finding that the officer was justified in his use of deadly force.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the incident occurred in the 1200 block of N. Parker Street around 10 p.m. on March 1st.

Police said Andrew Zigler, 52, refused to leave the residence or permit two elderly adults to exit safely.

Authorities said Zigler was located in the living room of the house and was armed with a gun, which he had pointed at the two victims. SWAT teams were able to take up positions around the house and, when Zigler allegedly became agitated, a sniper shot him.

Officers then escorted the victims from the residence. One was treated for injuries to his torso and head. Zigler’s firearm was recovered from the scene, police said.
