A 23-year-old Omro man has been charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree reckless injury and first-degree recklessly endangering safety, after allegedly firing several shots into a crowd during a fight at Oshkosh's Pub Crawl event, striking a bystander in the leg.

Why it matters

Gun violence at public events is a major concern for local communities, and this incident highlights the need for improved safety measures and de-escalation training for both law enforcement and event organizers to prevent such incidents from occurring.

The details

Police later stopped Price's vehicle and arrested him, and he admitted to drinking and carrying a stolen firearm, though he claimed to have no memory of the shooting.

  • Price made his first court appearance on Wednesday and is being held on a $100,000 cash bond.
  • Further court proceedings are scheduled for April 20.
