Police: 2 in custody after altercation at West Allis business

WEST ALLIS -- Two people are in custody after an incident in West Allis on Tuesday morning, Oct. 2.

Officials say shortly before 9 a.m., the police department received a call from a business near 60th and National indicating an altercation had taken place -- and something was sprayed in the caller's eyes. A male and female suspect left the business westbound on National Ave.

Soon after, a West Allis officer located the two suspects in the area and stopped them. The male suspect was uncooperative with officers, officials say. Officers observed him to have a firearm. The male fled the area and the gun was either dropped or fell as he fled.  The female suspect was taken into custody.
