MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Police Department found that there is a serious problem with its guns.
Officer Vidal Colon was injured over the weekend in a shootout, in which his gun jammed.
The police chief has known about the problem for a year, but he is now taking immediate action following Saturday’s shooting.
The chief sent a memo to the entire police department about the weapon problem.
On Saturday, Colon responded to a report of a man armed with a gun near 36th and Scott streets.
Colon fired his gun 13 times, and the suspect, Louis Domenech, shot back six times, refusing to drop his weapon, said police.
Both men were hit, and police have been investigating the shootout. They learned that one bullet casing had stovepiped, or jammed, in the officer’s weapon.

aka as “Keith Olberman shooter syndrome”.
In the Rockies we have our own history. He et all the demmycrats in Hinsdale county one winter. The Grill at CU Boulder is known as the "Alferd Packer Memorial Grill" ;-) We in the mountains did not get as much as they did in Denver.
My idea of concealed carry; If I can’t stop ‘em with the M1911 slung under the left arm, there is always the Taurus 357 mag inside the right front waistband. Just in case I lose those two, there is that Texas derringer in 45LC or .410 in the left ankle holster. I’ll reserve the North American arms Mini in 22LR in the left front pocket as a last resort.
Let’s see... 7+1 for the 1911, 6 for the Taurus, 2 in the derringer, five in the NAA. My, you’re going to be busy changing weapons there to use all 21 rounds.
Me, I’ll take my paired XD45s with 13 round mags and already have more .45 ammo available to me than you have total.
I have the same MP.40c. Love it.
Esthetically superior to Glock. Much more accurate than the Kahr P9 it replaced.
Reasonable price. Can’t go wrong.
What did he die from, food poisoning?
You also apparently like exercise, as all those pistols, empty, weigh more than my two loaded XDs and a pair of reloads.
