Report: Man Hit By Bullet Exiting I-94 In Oak Creek Last Month

OAK CREEK, WI —A man was hit in the head by a bullet while driving last month in Oak Creek after an initial incident with the shooters at a Milwaukee gas station, the Journal Sentinel reported this week.

In the early hours of Feb. 20, the unidentified victim suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head, though reports suggest he may have been grazed by the bullet. The victim was reportedly awake and alert when emergency services and police arrived at the scene. He was taken to a Froedtert medical facility, but no further details about his condition were provided.

According to the Journal Sentinel, the shooting occurred while the victim and a woman were driving their Nissan Altima on the southbound exit of Interstate 94, near the beginning of the Elm Road exit.

The woman reported to police that gunfire came from multiple vehicles, but she was unable to provide descriptions of those vehicles, and the police have not identified any suspects in the shooting. Oak Creek Police and the Oak Creek Fire Department were reportedly dispatched to the scene at the request of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The scene ultimately was turned over to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office and Milwaukee Police Department.

According to reports, the woman called police at around 2:13 a.m. to report her boyfriend had been shot in the back of the head. A dispatcher gave the woman instructions about how to control the bleeding. It was reported that an initial incident between the drivers of the vehicles occurred at a Citgo gas station on Teutonia Avenue in Milwaukee, which is why the Milwaukee County Sheriff and Milwaukee Police Department were involved.
