Official: Better 911 Response Could Not Have Stopped Slaying

MADISON, Wis. — Dane County’s top official said that a better response to a 911 call from a college student before she was slain still couldn’t have saved her life.

County Executive Kathleen Falk apologized Tuesday at a news conference for errors employees made responding to the April 2 call from Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone.

Falk said one of the errors wasn’t discovered until as late as two weeks after the slaying.
