According to CBS 58, Milwaukee police are investigating several weekend shootings. Multiple people were injured and a 20-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were killed.
According to a release from Milwaukee police, one of the shootings happened around 2:08 p.m. Saturday on North Hopkins Street outside Choice Liquor.
Police say a 19-year-old man was shot and is in critical condition. A 20-year-old victim was also shot at the scene.
Arnitta Holliman, Director of the Office of Violence Prevention, say we can only stop if we come together.
“We have to take responsibility for what’s happening in our community. It is constant, it is horrendous, and it is hitting us hard in many ways,” said Holliman.
“If you know something, say something. Report it, we want to make sure folks who are causing the harm are being held accountable for that,” explained Holliman.
According to a release from Milwaukee police, a 26-year-old woman was shot near 15th and Galena around 8 p.m. Saturday night. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.

These shooting are really ridiculous. They’re out of hand. They’re uncalled for. They’re sickening. I’m tired of hearing about this type of behavior.
I’m tired of seeing our city in shambles. I’m tired of the self centered climate we’ve created. I’m tired of the lack of unity. I’m tired of the lack of support.
I’m tired of the useless clique mentality here. I’m tired of seeing our youth die weekly. These stories sound more and more familiar as time passes. Our city is extremely chaotic and I’m tired of hearing more people talk about it rather than take accountability.
I wish we would get out of the mentality that things that don’t effect us have nothing to do with us. It actually has exactly everything to do with us. It’s like we fail to realize that WE, the person reading(Milwaukee)and me, ARE MILWAUKEE.
We are NEVER going to see a change if we don’t make the effort to change. This city is made up by us and everyone else here that you know. What Are WE Going to Do?
This is not right. This is not okay. THIS HAS TO STOP!
