Updated: Dec. 23, 2010 5:00 p.m. | A Milwaukee police officer was involved in a shooting Thursday afternoon on the city's northwest side, police said.
According to Assistant Police Chief James Harpole:
About 2:30 p.m. an off-duty Milwaukee police officer was near the 102nd block of W. Fond du Lac Ave. when he was approached by two males, one of whom displayed a knife and demanded money. The officer pulled out his service weapon and shot the male with the knife. The suspect was taken to a hospital with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening.
Police arrested both suspects.
The male officer has been with the department for nine years.
If this is a school zone, which it most likely is considering it is in Milwaukee this "off-duty" officer may be in violation of 948.605 gun-free school zones. Unless he has a license from the state he is guilty of a Felony. Good luck buddy.
