MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee police say one officer died and another was injured when a squad car crashed on the city's northwest side.
The
rollover accident happened just after 5 p.m. Thursday. Video footage
showed heavy damage to the squad car, which rolled off the road until it
was wedged near an overpass. An investigation is underway.
Police
identified the officer who died as 23-year-old Charles Irvine Jr. He
was an officer for nearly two years. The other officer, a 36-year-old
with four years of service, is in stable condition.

Attorney General Brad Schimel said Irvine "gave the ultimate sacrifice
for his community." He said law enforcement officers risk their lives
every day for the safety of others and should be "in our prayers."
