An 83-year-old man was struck by a vehicle and three fires were set Wednesday morning, Sept. 2 in Waukesha. It happened shortly after Waukesha police said a female was set on fire -- and there was a second "suspicious fire" a short time later. The incidents prompted a "lockout" at Waukesha schools, and Waukesha police said they were working to determine whether the two incidents were linked.
According to officials with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, shortly before 9:15 a.m., deputies and firefighters responded to the area near Foxvale Court and River Road for a report that the man had been struck by a vehicle driven by a 39-year-old man. The 83-year-old was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening.
