Four law enforcement officers in Green Bay, Wisconsin, sustained non-life-threatening injuries early Saturday morning when a vehicle deliberately drove into a crowd.

The driver was apprehended without further incident on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The Brown County Sheriff's Office is assisting the Green Bay Police Department in the investigation of the officer-involved shooting.
