Norman, who stressed the information was preliminary and could change as the investigation unfolds, said officers responded to the call at 7:33 a.m. Tuesday on West Wells Street, near the intersection of North 34th Street. "Upon arrival, officers encountered the suspect, a 66-year-old Milwaukee man, in a basement with other residents of the building," Norman said. "The suspect pointed his firearm at the officers. The officer discharged their firearm, subsequently striking the suspect." An unspecified number of gunshots had been reported prior to officers getting to the building, he said. No other injuries were reported. In response to reporters' questions, Norman said it was unclear if the man had taken people hostage or what his relationship was to them. "We're still talking to the witnesses, we're still talking to the victims, and we are aware that this was a very fluid situation," he said. The facility is owned by the Center for Veterans Issues, Ltd. and opened in 1994 as a licensed residential care facility and halfway house, according to city property records. The center provides housing and other services to more than 300 veterans and their families on any given night, according to its website. The organization issued a statement Tuesday afternoon confirming the 66-year-old man was a resident of the facility and that police indicated it was "an isolated incident." "The care and safety of the veteran community, our residents, employees, and neighbors remain a top priority for CVI," the statement said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of one of our residents who was killed this morning. "While we understand the public is looking for additional information, at this time we are expending all our efforts and focus on assuring our residents and staff have the resources they need to manage the trauma over what has occurred," the statement said. The 38-year-old officer who fatally shot the man has more than 19 years of service with the department and has been put on administrative duty during the investigation, which is standard policy after a police shooting, the chief said. The second officer on the scene, who is 40 with more than 13 years with the department, did not fire his weapon and will not be placed on leave, Norman said. The shooting is being investigated by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team with Oak Creek police serving as the lead agency. Residents of the building had to be evacuated as the Milwaukee Police Department's mobile hazardous unit checked for explosives and other hazardous materials, Norman said. The Center for Veterans Issues later said that the building had been secured.
