Originally published on November 15, 2013 <br /><br />A felon wanted for being a felon in possession of a firearm was shot by police inside of a children's hospital in the Wauwatosa suburb of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin on Thursday (November 14). Police were tipped off that 22-year-old Ashanti Hendricks was at the hospital at 11:11 a.m., and found him in the 7th floor neonatal unit holding a child when they arrived.<br /><br />After presenting him with a warrant, Hendricks put the baby down and tried to flee down the hallway. However, he quickly turned toward the police, flashing a handgun, which was when one of the officers opened fire twice, according to Police Chief Edward Flynn. Hendricks did not return fire. The officer who opened fire was a 27-year-old Milwaukee police officer who had been on the force for nine years, Flynn added.<br /><br />Hendricks continued to try to run even after being struck in the wrist, and officers took him to the ground, struggling for several minutes before handcuffing him.<br /><br />Reports say Hendricks was armed with a .40 caliber Glock. No one else was reported injured in the incident.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
