On Tuesday night, Sept. 15, at 11:46 p.m. police responded to the 2900 block of Clinton Street. The residence of the officers was struck by six rounds while they and their infant were on the second floor.

Detectives located seven spent shell casings in front of the home with two rounds traveling through the front door into the interior of the residence. The officers have been with the department for four years and two years, respectively, and remain on leave.  

“This attack on our officers wan an affront to the department and will not be tolerated,” Wysocki said. “I want thank our law enforcement partners for the assistance they’ve provided us in the early stages of this investigation. We are asking for the public’s help with this case and for them to provide any information that they may have in regard to this shooting.”
