MILWAUKEE -- An officer-involved shooting occurred near 35th and Auer in Milwaukee on Monday night, November 2nd. It happened shortly before 9:00 p.m. Police say two MPD officers on bicycles were investigating a suspicious vehicle without license plates in an alley near 34th and Auer around 8:40 p.m. when they found three suspects in the vehicle -- one clearly armed with a handgun. When officers made contact with the armed suspect, gunfire was exchanged, police say. Two of the suspects in the vehicle were shot by the officers -- and one of the suspects fled. That suspect was arrested a short distance away. Two handguns were recovered at the scene -- along with narcotics. The suspects have been identified as two 17-year-old boys from Milwaukee and an 18-year-old man from West Allis. The two 17-year-old suspects were conveyed to hospitals where they are undergoing treatment for their injuries. The third suspect was arrested at the scene.
