MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee police say an officer shot and wounded a man overnight.

They say officers responding to a report of shots being fired found about 20 men getting ready to fight at a gas station parking lot just before midnight.

Police say a 20-year-old man reached into his waistband during a subsequent chase, crouched down and turned toward an officer, who then shot the man.

Officers say the man, who is a known gang member, sustained what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

Police say the 30-year-old officer who fired the shot has been placed on administrative duty pending completion of the investigation.
