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.

He was a twice convicted felon.
How did he ever get past the back ground check?
Rhetorical question, we already know the answer.

This is in Sheriff David Clarke’s back yard......I can’t wait for his speech tomorrow night. If anyone can put this madness into perspective, its him. God bless our law enforcement across the land.

Exactly, good ones must give up the bad ones, then there is no need to leave.

Of course this is all high fantasy, like moderate muslim.

Have any of these people considered that police are going to begin following Little Bill's dictum? That is ...

"I suppose you know, Bob, if I ever see you again I'm just going to start shooting and figure it was self-defense."

Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't already.

War on whites and the subset war on white cops, hs begun in full earnest by the other side.

Multiple,reasons why. To kill whitey. To disarm whitey. To federalize police. To keep the race issue a continuing exploitable crisis. To develop two-tier laws, one for black criminals and one for everyone else.

...every time I hear of ANY officer(s) being shot or injured, my heart is heavy.

Indeed; as I have cops in my family.

But; did you know that about 3,300 Future Americans will be killed TOMORROW due to CHOICE?

Thank God the policeman will recover.

And may God forgive me for being glad that the shooter will not.

We need more news stories like this.

I'm waiting for more stories about armed citizens assisting law enforcement while cowardly thugs are trying to murder them.
It's going to happen more often, I believe.
Last one I'd heard about was that 60+ year-old guy taking down a suspect who was shooting at an officer in Texas. Used a revolver at a good distance, too.
