Don't be alarmed.
This is rare.
From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
In broad daylight, in a grocery store parking lot, two people steal a man's car at gunpoint.
Who cares if it's a "rare" occurrence?
Relatively speaking, rape and murder are "rare" occurrences; but that doesn't make them less worrisome.
Getting struck by lightening isn't an everyday thing, but it's still not a good idea to play golf during an electrical storm.
Residents and shoppers in that area have to be a bit concerned. I would be.
It's interesting that the police and/or JS Online provide the public with a description of the stolen vehicle but offer no details on the suspects.
Why be afraid to give some specifics?
Were they male or female?
Were they wearing masks?
Although carjackings are unusual in the area, anytime there's a crime like that there's an impact.
It spreads fear.
Obviously, I have no idea where the suspects live. They could be from West Allis or Waukesha or Milwaukee or anywhere.
Crime in Milwaukee doesn't necessarily stay in Milwaukee.
As long as there are thugs somewhere, law-abiding people everywhere have reason to be concerned.
