Two Milwaukee police officers were shot Thursday in an ambush-style attack, and the suspect is still on the loose.
One of the officers is in critical condition while the second suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is in a stable condition, police said.
The incident unfolded when the two officers were called to the scene of a subject with a weapon in an alley in the northwest of the city at around 9:20 p.m. It was subsequently updated to a shots-fired incident when officers were en route to the scene.
While approaching the suspect, the officers were unexpectedly fired upon in the alley of the 2200 block of N. 24th Place, police said.
Both officers were struck by gunfire and were unable to return fire.
