UPDATE: The man shot and killed by police outside a Neenah, Wisconsin, motorcycle shop was a hostage and not the gunman who took hostages Saturday, the owner of the shop told a news website Sunday.
Michael Funk, 60, "was a hostage coming out" Steve Erato told Post-Crescent Media on Sunday. "They shot him in the alley. They shot the wrong guy." Funk had been hiding in the basement before exiting the shop where he was shot by police who surrounded the building.
