WEBSTER, Wis. (WJMC) — An officer shot a man armed with a knife, while responding to domestic disturbance call in Webster, Monday evening.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating the officer-involved shooting. They said St. Croix Tribal Police officers were called to a residence in the 24000 block of Eagle Feather Drive, in Webster, just before 6 p.m. Monday, and encountered the man with a knife.
After he was shot, he was airlifted to a hospital in Minnesota. No one else was injured. The DOJ said the officers were wearing body cameras, and the involved officers were cooperating and are on administrative leave, per policy.
Once completed, the investigation will be turned over to the Burnett County District Attorney.
