Milwaukee police officer shot, injured following apparent standoff outside a home
A Milwaukee police officer was shot and injured outside of a home on the city’s northwest side near Lincoln Park.
A witness told the Journal Sentinel that police were involved Tuesday morning in a standoff with people inside a home near West Fairmount Avenue and North Green Bay Avenue. Milwaukee police call logs show that officers responded to a “subject with gun” call in the area at 9:08 a.m.
The shooting occurred around 10:30 a.m., according to the Milwaukee Fire Department. The witness, Tyquana Payne, said someone from inside the house shot and injured a Milwaukee officer, and officers fired back. She heard 10 gunshots.
“It was so scary,” she said.
Milwaukee police confirmed in a brief statement that an officer had been injured.
Payne and her sister, Tiara, said family members live in an upper unit of the home. They had not heard from them as of 11:15 a.m. They said their aunt, who is in her 60s, lives with two sons in their 20s in the home.
The Milwaukee Fire Department declined further comment. The Police Department was still preparing for a press conference at the scene as of 11:45 a.m.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Injury Report
OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), De’Anthony Melton (knee), Cam Thomas (hamstring), Trendon Watford (hamstring), Ziaire Williams (knee)
QUESTIONABLE: Dorian Finney-Smith (calf), Ben Simmons (back)
OUT: AJ Johnson (illness), Chris Livingston (illness), Liam Robbins (Two-Way), Tyler Smith (G League)
QUESTIONABLE: Giannis Antetokounmpo (back), Damian Lillard (illness)
PROBABLE: Khris Middleton (ankle)
Each time the Brooklyn Nets have taken on the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024-25 campaign, they’ve boasted vastly different lineups. In their first meeting on Oct. 27, Cam Thomas and Dennis Schroder combined for 61 points in a major upset victory.
Most recently, the Nets came up just short against the Bucks on Dec. 8 while riding Schroder’s 34 points to a five-point loss sans Thomas.
Neither Schroder nor Thomas will suit up for Brooklyn tonight, the former having departed for Golden State and the latter continuing to nurse a hamstring injury.
Trendon Watford and Ziaire Williams join Thomas as absentees, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons could enter that category themselves.
Milwaukee’s star trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton all may sit out this evening as well, forcing the Eastern Conference rivals to rely on a “next man up” mentality to secure the win.
As four key players carry the “questionable” tag ahead of tip-off, the third meeting this season may look quite different from its predacessors.
Nets-Bucks is slated for 8 p.m. EST.
