The Milwaukee Police Department on Thursday released video of a July officer-involved shooting. WARNING: Some viewers may find the content of the videos, which can be watched in full on MPD's YouTube channel, disturbing. Discretion is advised.
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.
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.
