The New Normal in Milwaukee

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A person who was shot once about 6:30 p.m. Thursday while sitting in a car near N. 11th St. and W. Atkinson Ave. suffered a non-life-threatening injury, Milwaukee police said.

Police did not have a description of the suspect, who was still at large, and did not give further details of the shooting.

Bad news: A person was shot Thursday evening while sitting in a car on a Milwaukee street.

Good news: The person's injury is non-life-threatening.

Bad news: On a regular basis, people fire guns at others in Milwaukee's streets, businesses, and homes.


Really bad news: This is the new normal in Milwaukee.
