WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) - Authorities say a Waukesha County Sheriff's deputy shot an inmate at a hospital after the inmate began a scuffle. The inmate is in critical condition.

A spokeswoman for Waukesha Memorial Hospital says the inmate was at the hospital for treatment when he became unruly. Authorities say the officer was not hurt.

Officials aren't yet releasing the identities of either person or details of the inmate's injuries.

Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Allen says all patients and visitors are safe and there was never a threat to their safety.
