Overview
- A shooting at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin on Madison’s near east side left a person injured and was captured on multiple eyewitness videos.
- The Madison Police Department’s initial incident report said only that a person was injured in a shooting and did not confirm police involvement.
- Local witnesses and two videos posted by Richard Hegwood and Michael Doubek show officers restraining the person, a report of a taser deployment, and an officer appearing to fire multiple shots.
- Police closed and taped off the scene, the person’s bicycle remained on the ground, and District 6 Alder Davy Mayer said he was aware the incident involved officers as police scheduled a media briefing.
- The case is under active review with public scrutiny driven by social‑media footage; standard next steps include investigative and oversight reviews to determine whether use of force was justified.
