GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A man is dead after an officer-involved shooting on Green Bay’s west side.
It happened Tuesday night on Plymouth Lane, which is off of South Fisk Street.
Green Bay Police showed up to a west side apartment at 7:30 p.m. to check on a man who was possibly suicidal.
“When the officers encountered that male, upon their response, that male produced an edged weapon, stabbed one of the officers in the arm,” said Captain Jeremy Muraski of the Green Bay Police Department.
Muraski says the wounded officer, as well as his partner shot at the man, killing him.
The officer who was stabbed is expected to make a full recovery.
With the incident being an officer-related death, the state Department of Criminal Investigation is now handling the case.
“We are working with them, whatever assistance they request of us we will provide to them, but they are the primary investigators of this,” said Muraski.
Police did have any details about the man that was killed.
They say the investigation is just beginning and will take some time.
Muraski did not know whether the officers had ever previously been involved with an officer-involved shooting. The department has not released their names yet either.
