A Stevens Point man who was near the shooting scene last week says he has nothing to do with the group that connected suspected gunman Aaron Harvath and Dirk Wolf.

Dale McCann says he knows Dean Choate, who's facing charges for obstructing the police investigation into last week's murder. The two worked security jobs together several years ago, and McCann says Choate came to see him with an offer to work security at a new company Choate was starting.

"And I thought everything was legitimate, and I thought everything was on the level and straightforward," says McCann.

That's how McCann ended up at the Division Street office building right before Dirk Wolf was shot, the headquarters for Wolf's group, the United Citizens Alliance. He says he had a job interview with Choate and Wolf.

He says they weren't clear about what the company was, but he would be working as a security monitor, checking people in and out of the building.

McCann says Aaron Harvath was around the building that day, but he didn't sense anything suspicious about him. Then, he says he got down to work.

"Next thing I know, right behind me is a window, and an ambulance is blaring, there are police all over the place. I'm like, what's going on? Dean and Josh came running to the front, and both of them had cell phones, and they were talking to people on their cell phones, and they said, ‘somebody's been shot,’" says McCann.

Something he thought was strange, McCann says while the police were on the scene, Choate and other members of Wolf's group were disconnecting computers and packing up laptops.

McCann says the whole thing is bizarre, but he wants people to know he had nothing to do with the UCA or the shooting.
