MILWAUKEE —A Milwaukee police officer was shot in a "vicious" attack early Sunday as he sat in his squad car while colleagues investigated a domestic disturbance call, an official said.

The suspected shooter, identified by police as a 20-year-old West Allis man with two felonies on his record, was found dead in a nearby yard, they said.

The incident began as a response to a domestic disturbance call near South 17th Street and West Morgan Avenue at about 2 a.m. During that investigation, someone fired shots into the squad car, striking an officer "multiple" times," Asst. Police Chief William Jessup said in a morning press conference.

The officer, a 31-year-old man with 13 years of service, was taken to Froedtert Hospital for surgery. Milwaukee police Sergeant Tim Gauerke said the injuries were not life-threatening.

More blood on the hands of Obama. He owns all of this anti police violence. He put a target on their backs.

Time to pull out of neighborhoods and let these folks sort it out. The decent ones will leave and we need to prepare to help them.

They aren't going to stay in their neighborhoods.

Where is his mugshot and name? If they know he had two felonies, they know his name.

Can’t imagine being a cop in America now.

How much will they take?

We were talking about that at the range this morning. An Army vet said he’s quit if he were a cop now.
I would have to think seriously about it if I were in their shoes.

Absolutely. Now they are tracking down his friends.

If we knew the name we would already have him tied into a certain anti cop group ! Can’t have that. BO and LL would declare it racists !

“The Day of Rage was supposed to be yesterday. Man, some folks really are always late, aren’t they?”......

While I do recognize your post was meant as “humor”, I feel it inappropriate and disrespectful for the officer who was shot. Hopefully he will survive as his injuries seem to be minimal, so reported. I have numerous family in law enforcement and every time I hear of ANY officer(s) being shot or injured, my heart is heavy.

Flame away!
