MILWAUKEE -- The family of the shooter in the Miller Brewery shooting issued a statement on Friday, Feb. 28 in response to the events that played out earlier this week. That statement reads as follows:
Here at FOX6 News, we will no longer be using the shooter's name or picture from the Miller Brewery shootings in our news coverage. One of the characteristics that a mass shooter displays is a need to be "remembered." We believe it is a disservice to the families of the victims and our community to give the shooter any further recognition. Our focus now should be on the victims, their families and the community as we all continue to grieve the horrific event that happened Wednesday, Feb. 26.
