Overview
- Milwaukee police are investigating a shooting that wounded two 18-year-olds on the city’s north side, with medics taking the victims to hospitals with nonserious injuries on Tuesday.
- A Milwaukee County Transit System spokesperson confirmed that shots were fired aboard a Route 11 bus near Fond du Lac and West Hampton avenues and said the system is cooperating with investigators.
- Police say the bus driver and three other passengers were not injured and that they are seeking unknown suspect or suspects as the circumstances remain under investigation.
- A later WTMJ report described a separate-sounding shooting near Appleton and Hampton avenues around 8 p.m. that left an 18-year-old dead and two others injured, but authorities have not publicly reconciled that account with the daytime bus shooting.
- Officials ask anyone with information to contact Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS and say updates on suspect IDs and case links will be released as the investigation progresses.
