Shortly after midnight, the call came in that a man in his early 30's was bleeding from the back of his head in the 400 block of S. Front Street in the Village of Rochester. The caller said that he heard someone yell for help, then heard arguing, and then heard a loud sound like a gunshot or someone being hit by a vehicle.

It was determined that the victim had been hit by a vehicle. He was later taken by Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital where his current medical condition is unknown.
