The man wanted for a fatal shooting in Cross Plains last Friday has been arrested in Dodgeville.

Charles Witzel is suspected of shooting two more people near Mineral Point Thursday night. One of those of people has died, according to police.  The other is hospitalized. The shooting happened at the home of Witzel's ex-girlfriend.  She was not home at the time.

Police officers from around Iowa and Dane counties helped search for Witzel, who ditched his car on Highway Z. He stoled the car from the shooting scene. He then walked to the Wal-Mart in Dodgeville. He called police from the store's customer service counter, according to reports.

Witzel has been on the run since killing Craig Severson and wounding Severson's girlfriend.  Witzel was apparently unhappy that Severson had an affair with his now ex-girlfriend during the time the two were dating.
