A man who fired shots at Milwaukee police officers as they pursued a vehicle connected with a homicide died Tuesday night from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The Milwaukee Police Department said that after officers began chasing the wanted vehicle about 8:45 p.m. its driver fired a handgun towards the pursuing officers.
That pursuit ended after the driver, a 28-year-old Milwaukee man, "discharged his firearm and sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound," police said in a news release.
