Milwaukee area police officer wounded by burglary suspect

MILWAUKEE - A suburban Milwaukee detective has been shot but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn says three Wauwatosa police officers were investigating a local burglary when they confronted a suspect in a car in a Milwaukee apartment parking lot Friday morning.

The suspect opened fire on the officers and the officers fired back but a 52-year-old plain-clothes detective, who has 25 years of service, was hit once. The suspect ran away.
