Minnesota man killed by
single gunshot
The man shot and killed during a
fight near the State Capitol was the only son of a former Minnesota legislator.
Twenty-three-year-old Austin Bodahl of Waconia, Minnesota was shot once in the
chest late Tuesday night outside a busy State Street bar.
A 31-year-old man is in custody.
The victim's father, Larry Bodahl, says his son was a free-spirited rambler who
decided a couple weeks ago to go to Madison, a place he'd never visited.
He told his parents in a Mother's Day phone call that he wasn't sure when, or
if, he would leave Madison.
A bouncer at the City Bar, Patrick
Garcia, witnessed the fight that left Bodahl dead. Garcia says he heard a series
of pops during the fight and thought they were firecrackers.
