ANTIGO, Wis. - A 18-year-old who shot and injured two students outside Antigo High School after prom has reportedly died from wounds suffered when a police officer shot the suspect, authorities said Sunday. The Associated Press reported that the gunman is 18-year-old Jakob E. Wagner.

The gunman was armed with a rifle when he started shooting people as they left the school around 11 p.m. Saturday, according to Antigo Police Chief Eric Roller. Officers who were patrolling the school during prom responded. One of them shot Wagner with the rifle, according to police.

Wagner and both victims — a male and a female whose identities haven't been released — were taken to Aspirus Langlade Hospital in Antigo, police said. The female victim was treated and released and the male victim was undergoing surgery for injuries that weren’t life-threatening, police told AP.

Langlade County Coroner Larry Shadick told AP that Wagner died shortly after 1 a.m. in the intensive care unit of a Wausau hospital.

1. "One of them shot Wagner with the rifle"

Either this is a dreadfully worded article or a cop shot Wagner with Wagner's own rifle.

3. I was thinking the same.

4. Badly worded, I think - they've changed it to say

"One of them shot the person with the rifle, ...". Which could still mean the same thing, but is more likely to mean that one of them shot the-person-with-the-rifle.
