Milwaukee, WI – A person was shot by Milwaukee police Tuesday afternoon on the city’s northwest side, according to multiple reports from TMJ4 News.
The incident occurred around 4:49 p.m. in the 9800 block of West Lisbon Avenue, prompting a heavy police response and road closures in the surrounding area. A spokesperson for the Milwaukee Police Department confirmed an ongoing investigation at the scene.
According to TMJ4, sources said that all officers are “okay” following the shooting. It’s not yet clear what led to the encounter or the condition of the individual who was shot.
Witnesses told TMJ4’s Jenna Rae they heard sirens and saw squad cars chasing a vehicle west on Lisbon Avenue just before shots were fired. Police later established a large perimeter and restricted access to nearby streets while gathering evidence.
Authorities have not yet released details about the individual involved or whether any weapons were recovered. A press conference was held Tuesday evening near 100th and Lisbon, where officials said additional updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
Residents in the area are asked to avoid the active scene as detectives process evidence. Updates are expected later tonight once more information becomes available.
