The firearm was recovered at the scene by CBPD detectives last night after executing a search warrant at the suspect’s residence.  The incident was witnessed by a number of citizens.  

Three neighbors were talking in a backyard and got into a dispute with a fourth neighbor. That fourth neighbor, a 76-year-old man, went into his residence, returning with a handgun and began to shoot and hit two neighbors.

The suspect was later taken into custody peacefully by police. 

One victim, a 50-year-old Brookfield resident, was shot twice, once in the buttocks and once in the arm. The other suspect, a 51-year-old Brookfield resident, was shot once in the head. Both victims were transported to Froedtert hospital and are recovering.
