Four Wisconsin police officers were injured Saturday morning as a suspect drove into a crowd of people.
Officers with the Green Bay Police Department responded to a disturbance at a food truck at about 2:15 a.m. local time Saturday and were attempting to take some people into custody when a car drove toward bystanders and officers, prompting one officer to open fire.
The suspect then fled, which led to a short police chase that ended when officers did a PIT maneuver, a tactical move used by police to stop drivers.
