SUPERIOR, Wis. — A police officer was shot Sunday during what authorities described as “a multi-jurisdictional response to an active incident.”
The Superior Police Department confirmed in a Sunday morning news release that one Superior officer is in stable condition at Essentia-Health in Duluth after the incident at the Superior Middle School, North 37th Street and Tower Avenue.
One person is in custody. Authorities did not identify the suspect early Sunday.
“We are asking residents to avoid the area while we resolve this situation,” Police Chief Paul Winterscheidt said in a statement. “We appreciate your patience and support during these critical hours.”
Superior Mayor Jim Paine said in a social media post that the officer, who was first on the scene, showed “tremendous valor” and wished them a speedy recovery.
In an email to parents, the School District of Superior said the incident was not related to school operations or students. “However, we have confirmed that the incident resulted in significant damage to the Superior Middle School building,” the district reported.
The district will communicate directly with families and staff with plans for the Monday school day.
