Man, teenage girl found dead in Wisconsin after shooting at officers, Iowa slaying

ALBION, Wis. (AP) — A man and a 13-year-old girl who both shot at officers during a pursuit in Wisconsin were later found dead and may have been involved in a slaying in Iowa, authorities said Thursday.

The man, 38-year-old Alexander C. Grunke of Middleton, was found dead Wednesday evening following a standoff with sheriff’s deputies at a home in Albion, Dane County Sheriff’s Office said.

The girl was found dead from an undetermined cause in a wooded area nearby, the office said in a news release. Her name will not be released, it said.

The man was driving a car deemed suspicious following a slaying in Dubuque, Iowa, and once a pursuit ensued, both the man and the girl both fired gunshots at pursuing officers, the release said.
