OCONOMOWOC, Wis. (AP) - Investigators in Oconomowoc (oh-KAHN’-ah-moh-walk) says the death of a 50-year-old man found shot in the basement of his home is apparently a homicide.

Police Chief David Beguhn says Stanley Van Wagner’s wife found his body Sunday evening. He had been shot three times with a handgun.

Authorities believe Van Wagner was shot in another room of the home and his body moved to the basement. Beguhn says they believe the assailant is someone known to the victim.

No one has been arrested.
