Green Bay Police Investigate Officer Involved Shooting, Downtown Disturbance and Fleeing Vehicle; One Arrest, Four Officers Injured
The Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) is investigating an officer involved shooting (OIS), which occurred following a downtown disturbance and shots fired at a vehicle that drove into a crowd.
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, shortly after 2:15 a.m., officers were dispatched to Doty and S. Washington streets for a disturbance at a food truck. As officers were investigating this incident, a vehicle drove into a crowd towards bystanders and officers. At which time, an officer is confirmed to have discharged their firearm. The vehicle then fled leading to a brief pursuit with police. No injuries have been reported from the gunfire.
Within minutes, the fleeing vehicle was stopped without further incident in the area of North Monroe Avenue and Pine Street by additional officers who successfully performed a pursuit intervention technique (PIT). The fleeing driver was taken into custody on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI) with the assistance of the Wisconsin State Patrol.
As a result of these two separate incidents, four officers reported non-life-threatening injuries and sought medical treatment.
The officers involved were wearing body-worn cameras during the incidents and that footage will be reviewed as part of our investigations.
The Brown County Sheriff’s Office will be assisting the GBPD in the OIS portion of the investigations.
The officer who discharged their firearm will be placed on administrative leave, per GBPD policy.
Anyone with information related to either incident including video footage is encouraged to call Green Bay Police at (920) 448-3200 and reference case #26-245224 with information related to the disturbance and #26-245226 related to the shots fired incident. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (920) 432-STOP (7867). You may also submit a tip online at www.432stop.com, or utilize the "P3 Tips" app.
