Former aldermanic candidate Michael Lutz dies in apparent suicide
By Bill Glauber of the Journal Sentinel
July 26, 2015

Former aldermanic candidate Michael Lutz died early Sunday morning of an apparent suicide, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.

Lutz, 44, a former Milwaukee police officer, suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound "while in the presence of Menomonee Falls tactical officers after a brief tactical situation," the medical examiner's office said in a release issued Sunday.

Lutz was pronounced dead in the 12300 block of W. Mill Road in Milwaukee at 4:05 a.m., the release said. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.

Lutz later became a criminal defense attorney and was the anonymous source for a series of stories last year critical of Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm.

Lutz suggested that Chisholm, a Democrat, had a political agenda in overseeing a John Doe investigation of aides and associates of Republican Gov. Scott Walker during his time as Milwaukee County executive and in initiating a separate probe of Walker's campaign.

A John Doe investigation is a secret proceeding into a potentially criminal matter.

4. The 'W'

Word was used with corporate, so Hillary's was conflated as an issue of virtue and chastity.

Just thinking you could be taking your chances as they say.

Think of the children. It's not a problem to me.

5. WTH?

So he shot and killed himself in front of fellow officers?

6. After a brief tactical situation...I think it was his trigger finger that resolved the situation.

7. As in a standoff? Sorry, trying to parse that sentence.

Too cryptic for me.

10. The article is unclear, but it seems Lutz lost badly in the primary to fill an aldermatic seat

made available by a fatal vehicle accident involving one motorcycle.

My assumption was police were present to intervene in behavior that ended in suicide.

12. Now that makes sense, thank you.

I was having a hard time with the entire article.

11. Lutz was on Fox-Kelly files-- a while ago with O'Keefe...

He has his 15 minutes of fame.
What was a Swat team doing at his house at 3 am??

.....Lutz retired shortly after getting injured in the arm as a police officer in a special unit while he and his partner rushed into a Southside building after a drug dealer, Tony Payano then 23 on October 2005. Lutz was criticized for not waiting for backup and was later hailed a hero for his injuries by Mayor Tom Barrett at the time.

Payano was convicted for shooting at Lutz and was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison.

Shortly afterwards, it was learned that a citizen complaint was filed against Officer Lutz with the Fire and Police Commission prior to the shooting incident. The complaint accused then Officer Lutz of intimidating a witness. Apparently, Lutz and another officer stopped the complaining witness in the Southside after learning he was the target of a filed citizen complaint with the Fire and Police Commission.
Lutz made the mistake of signing the citation given to the complaining witness at the time of the initial stop, confirming that Lutz had actually intimidated him. Intimidating a witness or complaining witness is a felony in Wisconsin. Lutz was never charged with a felony, but didn’t returned to police duty and retired.
