Mayor's response
What they're saying:
Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson issued the following statement on the shooting that happened along Hampton Avenue:
"With information from both the fire and police departments, I am monitoring developments related to the shootings along West Hampton Avenue late today. The fire department has provided preliminary information regarding the emergency medical response, and the police have shared early aspects of the criminal investigation.
"I am appalled by the senseless use of firearms to settle disagreements. There is no situation in which that is appropriate.
"To anyone inclined to shamelessly shoot at another human being, your actions will land you in prison. To everyone in our city, I ask that you take all possible steps that you can to reduce gun violence.
"In these most recent incidents, I have every reason to believe those responsible will be brought to justice."
