Pleasant Prairie Police are investigating a shooting that occurred in a vehicle on Highway 50 Sunday afternoon.

According to a statement from the police department, officers were called to a multi-vehicle crash in the 8800 block of Highway 50 at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. When they arrived, they found that a vehicle had struck several cars that were stopped for a traffic light at 88th Avenue in the eastbound lanes.

The driver of the car — a 25-year-old Kenosha man — had a single gunshot wound to the head.

A 25-year-old woman was in the vehicle with the injured man.

Pleasant Prairie Police Chief David Smetana said that the gunshot came from inside the vehicle and police have recovered a weapon from the vehicle.

He said the circumstances of the shooting are still under investigation, but stressed “there is no fear of any public safety concerns for the public.”

He said no one was in custody.

The man with the gunshot wound was taken to St. Catherine’s Medical Center and then taken by Flight For Life to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. Smetana said the man survived, but said his condition was unknown on Monday.
