A student at the University of Wisconsin/Madison is charged with three counts of murder in the shooting deaths late last month of an Iowa native and two other men. Seventeen-year-old Dustin Wilson of Charles City was among those killed June 26 in an apartment in the Madison suburb of Verona. The reported motive: a 17-thousand dollar gambling debt. Wilson had told family members someone was trying to kill him but didn’t say who. Police charged 19-year-old Meng-Ju “Mark” Wu in the slayings of Wilson and his two roommates. It was reportedly one of the roommates who owed the debt. Wu, a native of Taiwan, is currently being held in New York, awaiting extradition to Wisconsin. He was arrested Sunday night.
