Law officers from throughout the La Crosse area showed up for this news conference...and so did the state attorney general.

They were present today as La Crosse County Sheriff Steve Helgeson spoke about the arrest of 40-year-old Eric Koula for the May shooting deaths of his parents. Helgeson says financial gain was Eric's motive for killing Dennis and Merna Koula. Attorney General J-B Van Hollen touted the state's assistance in the murder probe...and said D-A Tim Gruenke can't tell as much as he would like to about the case.  Gruenke says Eric Koula was interviewed more tan once about the murders, but he won't say how early Eric was considered a suspect.
