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.

The driver was taken into custody without incident on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The four officers suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and received medical treatment.
No injuries have been reported from the shooting.
Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis said at a subsequent news conference that the department didn’t know yet if the driver was connected to the disturbance near the food truck.
