One Green Bay man has lived in his home since March of last year. He's a former NBC 26 employee and asked us not to use his name.
When he was coming home Monday night, he says he witnessed the scene.
"I see tons, at least four, five, six squad cars rushing down," the man said. "Everyone was pulling off to the side of the road. And a lot of the other squad cars were going on the opposite side rushing down. ... A lot of times, you would think that it doesn't happen in your area and what not. But this happened here and it's pretty sad and tragic."
The witness lives three doors down from the residence where the incident occurred.
He says a detective spoke with him.
"[The detective] had mentioned 'hey, have you guys seen anything or heard anything within the last 10 to 15 minutes?'" he said. "'Have you seen this type of a vehicle?' ... I was kind of in shock. All of our neighbors were outside. They were all wondering what was going on. They were in shock."
Police Chief Chris Davis gave an update on Monday night.
"We are committed in a case like this to get to the bottom of it," Davis told reporters.
"It's pretty nerve-wracking seeing and hearing what had happened," the witness told NBC 26.
