While fleeing law enforcement, the subject crashed their vehicle near the intersection of Highway K and 50th Avenue in the town of Lafayette, according to a press release from the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
"Following the crash, the subject fired a weapon at law enforcement, striking at least one squad car from the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office," the release says. "The Eau Claire Regional SWAT Team was called in to assist and upon their arrival, the subject continued firing at law enforcement, striking an armored vehicle."
