Man who pointed a gun at kids sentenced to federal prison (MILWAUKEE)
An Oshkosh man who reportedly pointed a gun at children is heading to prison. The United States Attorney’s Office says Douglas T. Murphy was sentenced to nine years in federal prison Monday after he repeatedly pointed a handgun at several children inside a downtown Oshkosh home in June of last year. A release from the attorney’s office says Murphy also used the firearm to “pistol whip” his girlfriend which led to an open wound on her scalp. A 911 call from one of the children led to an almost six-hour standoff with law enforcement, which ended when a SWAT Team entered the home and arrested the 35-year-old Murphy, who has had past convictions in Waukesha, Manitowoc, and Winnebago counties in Wisconsin.
