‘It’s Got to Stop’: Shorewood Police Chief Calls for End to Violence Against Officers After Officer Shot

SHOREWOOD, WISCONSIN, JUL 3 – A Shorewood officer was protected by a ballistic vest after being shot during a domestic violence-related incident that also injured two others, police said.

  • On July 3, a Shorewood police officer was shot in his squad car near Bartlett and Kenmore, protected by a ballistic vest; the suspect remains at large.
  • The shooting response arose when officers responded to a domestic violence call at Bartlett and Kenmore, with officials noting it was not a random act of violence.
  • According to Chief Wurth, at least two rounds hit the squad car's windshield and passenger side; the officer was protected by a vest, and two others were injured.
  • In response to the shooting, Shorewood canceled activities and residents were urged to avoid the area, amid a regional pattern of violence against officers in Milwaukee.
