Officer Involved Shooting Last Night In Shorewood

There was a police-involved shooting in Shorewood last night. Just after 11:30, Shorewood police responded to the
LaQuinta Inn at 19747 NE Frontage Road regarding a man requesting an ambulance in the back of the parking lot.

The officers found the man in a vehicle in the back of the parking lot, but when they approached the man, he brandished a weapon. Officers took up a place of safety and attempted to get the man to put down his weapon.

After a short standoff, the man fired his weapon and one of the Shorewood officers returned fire, hitting the man. The man was pronounced dead on the scene.
