MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Madison, according to a spokeswoman.

There are no fatalities involved in the shooting, sheriff’s spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said Thursday.

Madison police say officers responded to Madison’s east side about 8:20 a.m. where police say an officer was involved in what they described as a “critical incident.”
Police said no officers were injured.

Madison police were helping the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation with a case when the incident happened, police spokeswoman Stephanie Fryer said in a statement.

The incident generated a large police presence near a park-and-ride lot.
