A shooting early today that police say began when two men brushed up against each other at a late-night sub shop left a man in "extremely critical condition."

Police are looking for the suspect and any witnesses to the shooting.

A surveillance video showed that American Subs, 1114 W. North Ave., was full of customers at 2 a.m. In the video, the suspect and a woman with him got their food and were wa
king out of the shop when the suspect and another man bumped shoulders.

Police do not think the men knew each other.

The suspect pulled out a handgun and put it to the other man's head. A
r
thir
d man, 27, who was standing nearby, intervened and pushed
the gun way. That man and the suspect appeared to exchange words on the soundless video. The suspect and the woman left out one door and the other two men left through another exit.

Seconds later the suspect fired "numerous" shots outside the sub shop, hitting the 27-year-old man who intervened, police said. He was taken to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital.

A 48-year-old man driving past the restaurant was struck in the leg when a bullet went through his door, police said. The man drove himself to the hospital where he was treated and released.

The suspect is described as a 5-foot 9-inch, 170-pound black man in his early 20s with a dark complexion, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with dark color on the slee
ves, a light-colored dark T-shirt, dark jeans and light-colored shoes.

To report information on the shooting, call Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7302.
