Milwaukee police release videos of a shootout with suspect, officers at a gas station

The shooting happened at a gas station near Sherman and Capitol the night of Wednesday, July 17. Officers were initially called for a shooting. When they arrived, they found a person who was wanted for a shooting that happened the previous day.

According to MPD, the officers gave that suspect several commands to show his hands as he retreated to the back of a gas station. It was at that point, police said, that the armed suspect shot toward officers and other people who were inside the store.

One officer returned fire, police said, as others took cover and continued to order the suspect to show his hands – but he didn't comply. The suspect pointed his gun toward officers a second time, and another officer then shot his weapon.

MPD Chief Jeffrey Norman said the suspect then ran out of the gas station and fired numerous shots toward officers. Officers returned fire, striking the suspect. Norman said additional force was used to take the suspect into custody.

Officials said the suspect was a 22-year-old Milwaukee man. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-fatal injuries. The suspect's rifle was recovered at the scene.

Norman said the suspect was wanted for a shooting in which two people were wounded near 29th and Melvina on July 16.
