MARINETTE, WI-- A Pembine, Wisconsin man charged in the January shooting death of his wife has been sentenced.
Gary Rogge, 56, was given 40 years in prison and 20 years of extended supervision. He pleaded no contest in July to first-degree reckless homicide in the shooting of Shelley Erickson-Rogge, 63.
Rogge claimed he and his wife were drinking and playing shooting games at the time of the incident. Officials say the gun was against his wife’s chest when it discharged.
Rogge was originally charged with first-degree intentional homicide. He was sentenced Monday in Marinette County Circuit Court.
