APPLETON, Wis–An Appleton man accused of firing shots from the roof of a church building is claiming insanity. James Cooper enters a plea of “not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect” in Outagamie County Court to charges of Reckless Endangerment and Discharging a Firearm in a School Zone.
According to the criminal complaint, Cooper initially threatened an employee at Saint Bernadette Parish and then got on to the roof of a building–firing two shots–before surrendering to police back in May. No trial date has been set.
