When officers got to the 2100 block of W. North Avenue, they say a suspect shot at them, and an officer shot back — no officers were injured and police say their bullets didn't hit the suspect.

Officers say they searched the building and located a 37-year-old man who they arrested.

MPD is still investigating. Any charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office for review.
