Man Arrested with charge of LaCrosse Homicide

Russell Robert Schroeder III has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless injury in the death of LaCrosse teenager Seth Hammes. Authorities discovered Hammes Saturday evening dead of two gunshot wounds. Hammes had been in the woods unarmed videotaping where he planned to bow hunt this season. Schroeder, mistaking Hammes for an animal, shot twice. Both bullets struck Hammes. The video recorder continued to tape the events, which lead authorities to Schroeder. Schroeder came to where Hammes was and promised to call for help on a cell phone. Instead, he fled the scene and did not place the call.
