The shooting happened in the parking lot of the Empire Sportsmen’s Club, near McHenry and Kiernan Avenues. Deputies have identified the man as Alexander Wever of Ripon.
This started with a man who crashed his car, then reportedly jumped out of the car with a baseball bat. Deputies say he started a fight, prompting the on-scene security staff to fire that fatal shot.

“The subject, Alexander Wever was treated at the scene and transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead,” said Sgt. Josh Clayton with the Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s offices said the guard who fired the fatal shot is part of a private security firm regulated by the state. Now this investigation will look into whether this shooting was justified.
“A lot of degrees of homicide are justifiable whether it’s self-defense or other circumstances,” said Clayton.
A security guard needs a permit and a license, which the sheriff’s office says this employee had. Deputies say this type of business is a place you’ll often see an armed guard standing watch.
“A bank and a casino would be high-value targets which would attract bad behavior,” said Clayton.
Some customers say they’re happy to see these guards with a gun.
“There’s a lot of money in there, you know, so somebody’s gotta watch it,” said Vanderlinin.
