A woman with a gun fired a shot this afternoon after an officer knocked on her door in the 3700 block of Washington Road, police said.
Officers were called about 11 a.m. to the area, which has since been closed to traffic, after a report of a 44-year-old woman waving a gun and threatening to kill herself, Sgt. Hugh Rafferty said.
The woman’s son, 20, ran out of the house, apparently unhurt.
Police tried to call the woman, who apparently is alone in the home, but she did not answer. An officer knocked on her door and a gunshot was fired through a window.
No injuries were reported.
The Kenosha County Tactical Response Team was called and remains on scene.
Police have blocked 22nd Avenue from 35th Street to Washington Road.
