Milwaukee Common Council President José Pérez said in a
statement that a person was killed during a game in his
district.
Milwaukee police confirmed a 47-year-old with a gunshot wound
was transported to a local hospital around 1 p.m. and died.
Officers arrested a 37-year-old in connection with the shooting
but later said the person was no longer considered a suspect.
Police did not release further details or any potential motive
for the attack.
“The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under
investigation,” Milwaukee police said.
Milwaukee Public Schools said the district would provide
resources to students in need of support when school starts
Monday.
"Milwaukee we MUST do better for ourselves, our children, and
neighbors for the future of our city," Pérez said in a
statement.
