A 38-year-old man, 42-year-old woman, 7-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl all lived in the duplex where the shootings happened. One of the victims was able to go across the street and call police. The duplex where the people were shot is located on Madison's southwest side in an area dominated by apartment buildings.
Bond Set In Oconomowoc Murder
11/29/09 - A one million dollar cash bond was set this week for the man accused of hiring someone to murder 39-year-old Kimberly Smith of Oconomowoc. Her ex-husband Darren Wold is facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide. Two other suspects living in Texas are charged with murder conspiracy. Investigators say they followed a trail of phone calls, money transfers and air tickets to find their suspects Wold allegedly conspired with his friend Jack Johnson. And they allegedly had Justin Welch of French Camp, California travel to Wisconsin to carry out the murder. The 26-year-old Welch and the 65-year-old Johnson were both arrested earlier this month at the U-S-Mexican border in San Diego while Wold was arrested at his home in Lubbock, Texas. Authorities said he maintained his innocence when he was questioned about the slaying. Smith was found dead of multiple stab wounds on October 1. Police said Welch’s D-N-A was found on a knife and gloves recovered near the murder scene. Investigators said they first linked Welch to Johnson and then to Wold – who was said to be losing a custody battle with Smith at the time over their young son. Wold has a preliminary hearing scheduled next month. He's being held in the Waukesha County Jail.

No Call List Deadline Monday
11/29/09 - Monday is the last day for you to sign up for the Wisconsin No-Call List. If your number is on that list, telemarketers can't call you -- with just a few exceptions. The popular no-call list dates back seven years. The state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection reminds you, if you miss Monday's deadline you won't be on the list effective January 1st -- and won't be able to get your number back on it until April. Consumers have to sign up every two years to stay on the no-call list. You could still get calls from nonprofit groups, elected officials and candidates for political office.
Beware Lead in Xmas Lights
11/29/09 - If you’re putting up Christmas decorations this weekend, you might want to check the label to see if your lights contain lead. The Environmental Health Director with the Rock County health department says the risk of exposure is low, but you want to put the lights in a place where kids can’t touch them. Banwell says lead paint on older homes is a bigger hazard than the lead in lights. He says you should choose lights without lead if you have small children.
Bike Federation Encourages Winter Riding
11/29/09 - Is winter time in Wisconsin time to put away the bicycle? Not necessarily. Amanda White with the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin says exercise that can help us during a time of year when it’s common to pack on a few extra pounds. White says there’s a misconception that you have to spend a ton of money on special winter cycling gear. She says you should wear layers – not a heavy winter coat – have a good set of lights and thicker tires. White reminds you that your hands and face are the first things to get cold in the winter, so mittens or gloves are a must. One other idea: a good set of fenders can keep the off the slop during those commutes to and from work.
Waukesha Bank Robber To Late To Rob Bank
11/29/09 - A Waukesha bank robber couldn't get into the bank this week. The would-be robber came to the Guardian Credit Union in Waukesha last Wednesday at 5:36pm. Unfortunately for him, the bank had been closed for six minutes. Witnesses told police the man wearing a ski mask entered the first set of doors at the credit union, showing a gun, and apparently not knowing about the closing time. He found the second set of doors was locked, police were called, but the suspect took off before they could get there. Waukesha police say they have been studying surveillance video as a part of their investigation. It's possible the robber didn't plan his stick-up very well -- or, cops say he may have been delayed by traffic.
