Suspect Throws 'Powerful Pyrotechnic' Explosive At Wisconsin Police Officers, Injuring Both
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Police in Milwaukee are trying to find whoever threw an explosive at two officers early Monday morning.
Police said in a news release that an unknown suspect threw a "powerful pyrotechnic" device toward two male officers a little after midnight on North Water Street a few blocks from the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
The device detonated, injuring both officers, ages 45 and 40. Their injuries weren't life-threatening but they were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
A police spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a message Monday seeking additional details.
