1. A heavy police presence remains on Milwaukee's north side right now. We know one person is dead after a shooting and a police officer is hurt. The Medical Examiner tells WTMJ they were called to the area of 49th and Mill Road. At one point this morning, you could see numerous police squads, an ambulance, and a crowd gathering. Police sources tell WTMJ an off-duty police officer was driving into work when the suspect cut him off and pulled in front of him. The suspect then got out of his car and pistol-whipped the officer in the head. Our sources say the off-duty police officer then drew his weapon and that's when the suspect started shooting at him. The officer then shot the suspect, killing him. The officer is currently being treated at the hospital for his injuries.
2. President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois is facing scrutiny at a pivotal court hearing today, hours after a small number of Texas Guard members started protecting federal property in the Chicago area. U.S. District Judge April Perry is hearing arguments on a request to block the deployment of members of the Illinois and Texas National Guards while a lawsuit challenging the move proceeds. The city and state both filed lawsuits to stop the deployments, calling them unnecessary and illegal. Troops have been asked to protect the ICE facility in Broadview and the district courthouse in Chicago. The Commander says the troops will help protect federal agents at the two sites ahead of two high-profile legal cases involving the Department of Homeland Security Friday.
3. Embrace the Challenge! That's the message from the Milwaukee Brewers today, as the series just got more interesting.
