MILWAUKEE- One of the many highway headaches this morning can be attributed to a shots fired incident, and subsequent investigation, near I-94 and Hawley Road.
Milwaukee County Sheriff’s deputies observed an abandoned vehicle in the median along the off-ramp from 94 westbound to Hawley Road around 3 o’clock this morning. While on site they also came across a witness who described an individual on foot close to the scene. That person was described as acting erratically and saying they were involved with a freeway crash.
Milwaukee Police also came into contact with the occupants of a second vehicle who told officers that they’d observed a man abandon his car on the ramp and enter a wooded area near the scene. At this time the subject fired multiple shots into the second vehicle. Nobody was hurt but the second vehicle did sustain some damage.
The exit ramp was closed for several hours this morning as an investigation took place. Police say they’re still searching for the subject.
