Subject: Shots Fired

On Monday, July 13, 2020, at about 12:00pm, an Investigator with the Racine Police Special Investigations Unit was on assignment in the 1400 block of 11th St. While on assignment an unrelated civil disturbance broke out between two parties. The parties both brandished handguns and began firing at each other with the Investigator caught in the crossfire. The Investigator was sitting in his squad and the squad was struck several times. The Investigator exited his squad and identified himself as an officer at which point one party ran and the other dropped their handgun and was taken into custody.

Although several shots were fired and the Investigator received several scratches from the glass that was struck by gunfire no shots were fired by Racine Police. The investigation is ongoing and we are still seeking one party that was involved with the incident.

Racine Police investigators are interested in any additional information that anyone may have about this crime. Any witnesses, or citizens with information, are urged to call the Racine Police Department Investigations Unit at (262) 635-7756.
