UPDATE: Milwauke Police Chief Jeffrey Norman confirmed that a Milwaukee Police officer was the officer injured in this case. He is 31 years old with five years of service with MPD and is being treated at a local hospital
One of the suspects had “multiple outstanding violent felony warrants,” according to Norman, which prompted the attempted arrest. Police confronted the suspects after they exited the Residence Inn and got in their vehicle before they attempted to flee.
That officer was struck by the car that the suspects were in while they were trying to flee and pinned between that car and an unmarked police truck, according to Norman. After being pinned, he shot the two suspects. No other officers fired their guns in this incident.
The two suspects who were shot, a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old man, were also taken to the hospital and arrested. A third suspect tried to flee on foot but was also arrested.
