PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- After a loud boom around 3:00 p.m. Monday, Police, Sheriff's deputies and SWAT officers surrounded a building near Pier and Franklin in Port Washington.
Police say the incident is somehow connected to the shooting Sunday night near the intersection of Franklin and Main. According to investigators, the victim was in his parked car when two suspects approached him and told him to get out. One suspect fired multiple shots hitting him in the chest. The victim then drove to the police station a few blocks away.
Police released the 911 calls in that shooting:
The victim was taken to the hospital before being airlifted to a Milwaukee hospital for treatment. Most of the businesses were closed during the shooting, but some people who were staying nearby heard gunshots.
"I heard what I thought was a gunshot and then a little bit later tow more. Then 20 minutes later I heard sirens," said Brian, who witnessed the incident.
"Before that even happened, the streets were like a ghost town. I was shocked that anything like that could happen," said Shane Goff who saw the aftermath of the shooting.
Police believe it was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public. The two suspects are black men in their late teens, early 20s. They have not yet confirmed whether they've made any arrests.
Police have planned a 5:00 p.m. press conference. CBS 58 will carry the press conference live on Facebook and on CBS58.com.
