The Referees Were Responding to a Domestic Violence Call
As reported by FOX6NOW:
MPD Chief Jeffrey Norman said on Tuesday that officers were initially called for a domestic violence incident. When officers arrived at the home and tried to establish communication with the man, Norman said the man shot at officers and officers returned fire. Some officers relocated to the back of the home, where a second exchange of gunfire occurred – and an officer was shot. That officer was identified as Dan Morrell, 38, who has been with the Milwaukee Police Department for more than 16 years.
Norman said no one was struck by any officers' gunfire.
The suspect – who police said has a criminal history – refused to surrender at that time, and a tactical response team and crisis negotiators were called in.
The suspect surrendered without further incident around 12:40 p.m., according to police. There were four kids in the home at the time. The condition of those children is unclear, Norman said, and they were being checked by medical personnel.
If convicted, officials say Martin could face up to 483 years, six months in prison – and could be fined up to $60,000.
