Milwaukee Police Dept. shoot/injure a mentally ill man who would not drop his gun.



Early Sunday April 6th , a little before 2 a.m. near 15th and Cleveland, the police were called by Luann Will who was afraid of her son.  The 32 year old man was in possession of guns, and threatening to harm her and himself. When M.P.D. arrived he was holding a rifling which he refused to put down. Fearing for their safety and the safety of others  they fired at him 12 times, hitting him three times.

Luann Will told Fox 6, he was shot "“Twice in the front, and back here in the shoulder. It was just overdone. Why would you have to shoot so many bullets on one person? They didn’t get me and my grandson out of the way before they started shooting,” Will said. 

                                      Bullet holes in the wall.

 The mother said her son has a history of manic depression and hasn't been taking his medication. She also said that he is not receiving the mental health care that he needs.

The man is being treated for non life threatening injuries. He will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office in the coming days for possible charges.
