MILWAUKEE (AP) — A judge has found a man accused of opening fire inside a Milwaukee police precinct station not criminally responsible. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge David Feiss found 24-year-old Darreon Parker-Bell not criminally responsible by reason of mental disease or defect Monday on four counts of recklessly endangering safety with use of a dangerous weapon. Three doctors who examined Parker-Bell since the February 2022 incident determined Parker-Bell suffered from a mental illness that prevented him from controlling his conduct. No one at the precinct station was struck by gunfire from Parker-Bell or an officer who returned fire.
