Officers later discharged their handguns, striking the man. He was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

A firearm was recovered at the scene and body camera footage captured the incident.

The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation is now on the scene where there’s a large police presence in Appleton.

For a short time after 8 o’clock Friday night, people in the area of N. Birchwood Ave. between W. Brewster St. and W. Kamps Ave. in Appleton were alerted to shelter in place -- to stay indoors and away from windows.

A mobile alert soon gave people the all-clear, but our Action 2 News crew says it was still a very active scene two hours later.

It’s a residential area just north of Highway 96/W. Wisconsin Ave.

Appleton and Grand Chute police are there, with yellow crime tape to rope off the area. The DCI arrived at 10:30 P.M.

Police aren’t releasing information at this time. The police chief arrived and told our Joshua Peguero “Not right now.”

City council member Nate Wolff, who represents this part of the city, told us he plans to have a meeting at a local church on Monday to discuss what happened.
