MILWAUKEE (AP) - Bail is set at $10 million for a Minnesota man charged with killing a father and son at their La Crosse photography store.

Thirty-nine-year-old Jeffrey Lepsch, of Dakota, Minnesota appeared Thursday in Winona County court in Minnesota.

Lepsch could have waived extradition to Wisconsin, but asked to appear with an attorney.

The judge appointed a public defender and set the next court appearance for October 18th.

Investigators believe Lepsch walked into the downtown La Crosse shop on September 15th and killed 56-year-old Paul Petras and his 19-year-old son, A.J. Petras.

Police say Lepsch stole $16,000 in camera equipment

Lepsch remains in the Winona County Jail.
