Milwaukee Overnight: Five Shot, Two Die

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

According to police:

A 21-year-old Milwaukee woman died of multiple gunshot wounds in a parking lot of an apartment complex at 10110 W. Fountain Ave. around 2:30 a.m. today. Residents heard several gunshots and found the woman in the lot.

A 22-year-old Milwaukee man was found dead of a single gunshot wound outside a home in the 7600 block of W. Wabash Court around 1:30 a.m. today. Residents found the man, who did not live there, when they arrived home in the early morning.

Three others suffered non-life-threatening wounds in two shootings over four hours.

A 41-year-old woman and 21-year-old man were shot in the hand and leg, respectively, around 8 p.m. while sitting on a porch in the 2400 block of S. 15th St. by a suspect who emerged from between two houses. Police described the incident as gang-related.

In a separate shooting, a 24-year-old Milwaukee man is in stable condition at a local hospital after being shot in an apparent robbery while entering his home in the 3300 block of N. 14th St. around 11:35 p.m.

From the Journal Sentinel's account, it doesn't sound like any of the shooters are in custody.

That's not good.
