SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Police say a 21-year-old Sheboygan man has been arrested in an overnight shooting at a Walmart store in Sheboygan that left one man dead and another wounded.

Capt. James Veeser tells the Sheboygan Press detectives arrested the suspect around 11 a.m. Sunday. He says police will ask the district attorney for one count of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. A 20-year-old Milwaukee man died at St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan. A 21-year-old Sheboygan man was flown to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, where he's in critical condition. Their names have not been released.

Police say a man not associated with the two victims fired a gun toward them and two of their male companions outside the store.
