While on the scene, officers say they reacted to a situation involving a gun and that's when shots were fired and 35-year-old Richard Henke was hit. 

Henke was treated for non-life threatening injuries. None of the officers involved were hurt. 

Linzenmeyer remains on administrative leave. 

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation.
