The man accused of fatally shooting 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast Kara Welsh has been identified as a former wrestler at the college, police said.

Chad T. Richards, 23, of Loves Park, Illinois, was arrested Friday night after allegedly shooting the award-winning gymnast multiple times at an apartment about a block from the university’s main campus, the Whitewater Police Department said.

Whitewater police have requested charges from the district attorney’s office of first-degree intentional homicide,

endangering safety by the use of a dangerous weapon and

disorderly conduct while armed,

cops said.

It’s Murder! With a gun! “Endangering safety”?? “Disorderly conduct”??
