The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin said its casino security guards took appropriate action in response to a non-fatal shooting at the facility.
Guards at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino are not armed.
"They are not to become interveners, they are to become witnesses," a spokesperson told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
One guard called for backup after a fight broke out on the gaming floor, the spokesperson said.
However, other officers happened to be assisting another patron elsewhere in the facility at the time.
A 23-year-old woman was shot but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
Charges are possible against a 27-year-old male suspect.
The casino is located in downtown Milwaukee. Local police exercise jurisdiction there.
