The backstory:

It happened around 2:15 a.m. on July 5. Milwaukee police were patrolling the downtown entertainment district and heard multiple gunshots near Water and Knapp.

When officers, who were on foot, responded to the gunshots, they saw an Audi fleeing the scene. The driver, since identified in charging documents as 18-year-old Hunter Meyer of Rothschild, hit an officer with the car.

Multiple officers, including the officer who was hit, fired shots at the vehicle. The Audi got away and was later found unoccupied near Fond du Lac and Walnut, roughly a mile away from where the incident unfolded.

Officers found Meyer in the vicinty of the car and determined he'd been shot by an officer. He was then taken to a hospital. One gun was found in the Audi, and another gun was found in the area.
