MILWAUKEE - Two Milwaukee Police officers were recovering Wednesday afternoon after being shot and injured by a suspect whom other officers quickly arrested.

The injured officers were shot near the corner of South 2nd and West Walker streets on Milwaukee's south side. 

“The officers stopped a suspicious individual for questioning,” Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said in a news conference.  “Without provocation he drew a weapon and shot both officers before they had an opportunity to draw their weapons.”

The officers are Bryan Norberg, 21, who is in good condition.  The other is Graham Kunisch, 26, who remains in critical condition.

Other officers flooded the area near 2nd and National almost immediately after the incident happened.

“A coordinated area search has produced a suspect and has produced a weapon,” Flynn said.  “We believe we have the right man.”

The suspect's name is Julius C. Burton, 18, who has an arrest record that includes burglary, according to Flynn.

The injured officers were shot multiple times and are recovering at Froedtert Hospital. 

Unconfirmed reports indicate that both of those officers were shot in the head, but were alert when paramedics arrived on the scene.

Tom Aldana, a tattoo artist with Superstar Tattoo, tended to the officers until paramedics arrived.

 "I'm a certified emergency medical technician, so when I heard the gunshots I ran outside and saw the two officers were on the ground," he said.  "They had injuries all over their bodies, but they were both conscious and alert while I was working on them."

Locked Down

Officials at Bradley Tech High School locked the school down the minute they heard there was a shooting nearby. 

The incident occurred just as school would normally be letting out, so school buses and worried parents quickly started to crowd the area.

"I came off the freeway down here to pick up my son," said Jeff Duquaine a Bradley Tech parent.  "I didn't know what was happening."

It wasn't until about 5 o'clock that students started filing out of a door facing away from the ongoing police investigation. 

"We did not want to have young people or staff members impeding that at all," said Roseanne St. Aubin with Milwaukee Public Schools.  "Our goal was going to be a real safe and fast exit from the school."

The 1,200 teenage students did not interrupt the crime scene and were able to get on buses and into parents' cars safely when the school finally let out.
