MILWAUKEE — A 31-year-old man is dead after exchanging gunfire with Milwaukee police officers near 60th and Lisbon Saturday evening.
According to a news release from police, officers went to the 2700 block of N. 60th St. Saturday to investigate "a vehicle related to multiple business robberies."
Officers found the vehicle near the rear of a residence, where they also discovered the armed 31-year-old man on a porch.
The man refused to drop his gun after officers ordered him to do so, according to the news release. That's when gunfire was exchanged between the man and the officers, and the man was fatally shot.
