Update on shooting in Clinton
Before Timothy Harrington barged into a Clinton home and wounded his mother-in-law with a shotgun blast, he made comments to the effect “it was all going to end tonight.”
After Harrington shot his mother-in-law, Marilyn Smith, on Dec. 18, two police officers—Curt Streuly, a sheriff’s deputy, and Kim Rau, a Clinton officer—shot and killed him.
The information is included in court documents filed in connection with a warrant to search Harrington’s truck the night of the shooting.
Because the shooting involved local officers, Rock County Sheriff Bob Spoden asked the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation to investigate the incident.
Spoden also asked Dane County Sheriff Dan Mahoney to conduct the Rock County Sheriff’s Department internal investigation into the shooting. Such an investigation is routine in such shootings, Spoden said.
State criminal investigators will send their report to Rock County District Attorney David O’Leary. He said Thursday that he expects to receive the report next week.
