Milwaukee shooting at Juneteenth holiday block party leaves 6 teens wounded, police say
said thousands of people had gathered for a block party on North Martin Luther King Drive when an argument between multiple girls is believed to have escalated into a shooting that left four females and two males — ages between 14 and 19 — with gunshot injuries. The victims were subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment.
"There's no reason that a young person should have their hand on a gun of any kind. No reason whatsoever. It is completely and totally unacceptable," Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said during a press conference after the shooting.Johnson, a Democrat, also described the shooting as a distraction to the unity observed by community members just moments earlier.
He added:"If you are an adult or a young person, you’ve got your hands on a gun, and you are ill-tempered, right? Don’t come to stuff like this. Don’t come. Get the help that you need." "Parents, guardians, elders, we need to engage and ensure that this violence that our children are bringing to these streets ceases. No handgun, no weapon of destruction should be in the hands of our young ones," he also said.A preliminary investigation indicates that a 17-year-old male shot during the incident was also a shooter, police said, adding that they are still looking for additional suspects.
