Hutchinson was unaware of his location and repeatedly said he wasn't driving.

The funeral for the man accused of a Cook County shooting that injured two is set for Saturday. Daniel Schlienz died Tuesday after complaining of an illness. The Schlienz family is considering a wrongful death lawsuit, though St. Louis County authorities maintain he was given prompt medical care.

A St. Louis County Sheriff says Daniel Schlienz, who died Tuesday, waited only three hours for medical care for flu-like symptoms. His family says that information is false. Schlienz was in jail on charges stemming from a Cook County courtroom shooting that left three people injured.

The family of Daniel Schlienz told the Duluth News Tribune a bacterial infection led to his death. Schlienz died while in custody on December 27. The 42-year-old was being held for attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting two people at the Cook County Courthouse on December 15.

The suspect in a shooting at a Grand Marais courthouse has died, according to Cook County jail officials. Authorities tell KSTP that 42-year-old Daniel Schlienz had been ill and under intense supervision. He allegedly shot two people, including the prosecutor, at a courthouse after he was found guilty of criminal sexual misconduct.

Daniel Schlienz, a former pro boxer who was on trial for criminal sexual misconduct, allegedly opened fire at a courthouse in Grand Marais after hearing the guilty verdict.

42-year-old Daniel Schlienz shot and injured three people after trial proceedings of a sexual assault case where he stood as the defendant. Schlienz father says the trial had taken its toll on his son and he had become suicidal.

The Duluth News Tribune obtained a recording of a phone call that Daniel Schlienz made from jail after two people were wounded in a Grand Marais courthouse following his conviction for criminal sexual misconduct. Schlienz, who died in custody after falling ill, blamed the court system. The county attorney who prosecuted him says Schlienz "stole the story with his violence" and that the real story is that they locked up a dangerous predator.

Someone in St. Louis County could be much, much richer. Northland News Center reports that a Gopher 5 ticket worth $1.2 million was sold recently. Nobody has stepped forward yet to claim the prize.
