While searching for the suspect, officers heard what they believed to be gunshots and advanced in that direction. Officers encountered a subject matching that description on the second-floor stairwell. Two officers discharged their weapons, striking him.

Police say an AR-style pistol belonging to the suspect was recovered in the building.

The suspect, a 20-year-old man, was arrested and taken to a local hospital. He is expected to survive.

Video released includes body camera footage from the police department as well as surveillance footage from the apartment complex.

The officers involved in this incident were placed on administrative duty, which is routine in an officer-involved incident.

All video footage is available through the Milwaukee Police Department. Viewer discretion is advised.
