Milwaukee Police Department Chief Alfonso Morales said police were checking for a suspect wanted on drug and gun violations, and when officers approached the suspect fired on police. Morales said one officer, a friend and 17-year veteran of the department, died as a result of his injuries.

“I’m saddened to inform you the officer injured did not make it today. This is a difficult time for us. He was well loved by the department and a friend of mine,” Morales said.

Chief Morales confirmed the suspect was taken into custody and a weapon was recovered. The identity of the suspect will be released later today.
