GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A person died following an exchange of gunfire as Green Bay police officers responded to a reported disturbance involving two vehicles, authorities said.

Green Bay police Chief Chris Davis said officers were sent to the scene Friday afternoon of a disturbance involving two vehicles with a possible weapon involved. After officers located one of the vehicles, Davis said there was an exchange of gunfire between an officer and one person.

That person, who police said fired first, died Friday night at a hospital. Police said it has not been determined how the person died.

The deceased person was not immediately identified by authorities, and no additional information was released Saturday by police.

The DCI said the officer who fired shots was wearing a body camera, and the Green Bay Police Department has cameras in its squad cars.
