The Dane County district attorney charged Wu with three counts of first degree homicide in connection with a triple shooting in Verona June 26. He must return to Wisconsin to stand trial. 

 

 

 

Wu's lawyer, Charles Abercrombie, said Pataki issued a warrant for Wu's return to Wisconsin, but a New York court will have to decide whether the warrant is justified and Abercrombie will challenge it in court first.

Heatley also faces four misdemeanor counts punishable by up to a year in prison each. He is free on $50,000 bond.
