The man, who has been identified at Jacob Blake, is in serious condition at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee as of early Monday morning, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. 

The police department has issued a statement confirming the shooting, which occurred when police responded to a domestic violence call just after 5 p.m. Sunday.
