Police say the shooting, which was part of a domestic dispute, happened near 47th and Hope. Three people, including an 8-year-old were shot and injured.
“At the end of the day if you cannot handle that situation, and it’s getting to that point.. You just need to go. Just leave,” said Jameria Nelson, a neighbor. “You aren’t thinking about nobody else’s kids.”
A 32-year-old man was arrested. However, police are seeking an additional suspect.
The incident has people like Nelson scared and frustrated.
“Violence leads to other stuff and leads to kids getting killed, people just getting shot for no reason, innocent bystanders,” Nelson said. “It’s just a lot.”
While the 8-year-old and the two others, a 27-year-old and a 32-year-old, are expected to be okay, this shooting wasn’t the only shooting in Milwaukee on Tuesday.
A 16-year-old was shot and killed just after 10 p.m. near 27th and Oklahoma in a different incident. And another shooting near 40th and Garfield sent a 19-year-old to the hospital.
