Nothing in the story but I kinda wonder why they were shooting at him. I mean a 76 yr old guy probably isn’t gonna jump a bunch of cops.

See 15 - I posted another link. He was shooting at them with a shotgun.

A Waukesha police officer was grazed in the head – possibly by bullet debris – when a 76-year-old man shot at police during a domestic dispute, Police Chief Russell Jack said Wednesday.

Two officers returned fire, shooting 26 handgun rounds in and outside the home while securing the man’s former wife and leaving the residence with her, according to Jack.

The two officers are on administrative leave. They are doing fine physically after the suspect fired two rounds of turkey shot from a shotgun at police Tuesday afternoon, Jack said.

“Both officers are currently recovering emotionally from this very traumatic incident,” Jack said.
