Meijer Hostage Crisis Ends in Shooting | Green Bay News

A Meijer store in Waukesha reopened after a harrowing hostage situation where an armed suspect with a knife took a 59-year-old man hostage—forcing police into a tense standoff that ended with the officer firing after the suspect refused to comply. The suspect was critically injured, and the hostage suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Shoppers described chaos, including screams, gunshots, and a man waiting outside for his fiancé who was inside picking up dinner. The Greenfield Police are investigating; the responding officer, a 26-year-old with five years on the force, is on administrative leave. The knife was recovered, and Meijer praised law enforcement while reminding customers of their no-filming policy.
