MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee police officers shot and injured a suspect Tuesday night, after reports of an active shooter in an apartment building near 64th and Sheridan.
In a news conference, Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said officers responded to the area just after 9 p.m. and were given a description of the suspect, said to be wearing a black ski mask.
While searching, the chief said officers heard gunshots and located a suspect matching the description in the second-floor stairwell. Two officers fired their weapons, striking the 20-year-old man.
Chief Norman said the suspect was arrested and taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
An AR-style pistol was recovered at the scene, according to the chief, describing it as an illegally modified rifle with the barrel cut.
He said an interpersonal conflict may have taken place prior to the incident, which remains under investigation.
The officers involved are a 25-year-old man with more than two years of service and a 30-year-old man with more than eight years of service. They have been placed on administrative leave as is routine in officer-involved incidents.
