Nasewaupee, WI – A Wednesday morning stabbing in Door County led to a shelter-in-place alert after deputies found an individual bleeding heavily from the neck, according to the Door County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the release, deputies were called at 7:53 a.m. to the area of 6698 County Road C in the Town of Nasewaupee for a report of a severely injured individual. Emergency personnel located the victim on scene and determined they had suffered a stab wound to the neck tied to a domestic incident.
Because the alleged perpetrator initially remained unaccounted for, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) was activated, ordering residents nearby to remain indoors until the situation was secured. Officials later confirmed the suspect had been identified, and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Door County Emergency Management, which oversees the IPAWS system, reported that the alert accidentally reached residents outside the targeted area. County officials described it as a technology-related glitch and said further explanation is posted on Door County Emergency Management’s Facebook page. Additional details on how public safety alerts are issued and controlled were also provided.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including Nasewaupee First Responders, Door County Emergency Services, Sturgeon Bay Police, Sturgeon Bay Fire Department, Wisconsin State Patrol, and Door County Sheriff’s Office personnel.
The incident remains under investigation, and no additional information has been released.
