A Wauwatosa police officer, alerted by the sound of gunshots, saw a white sedan drive away from the scene and initiated a pursuit.

The pursuit ended in a minor collision at N. 110th Street and W. Congress Street, causing the suspects to abandon the vehicle and flee on foot.

The intended victim, who had managed to call 911, reported being shot during the attempted robbery.

He explained that he had been confronted by several people, at least one of whom was armed.

In self-defense, he used his firearm, resulting in a shootout before the suspects fled.
