MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Fire Department said three people were taken to the hospital after an incident Saturday night near 19th and State.
Milwaukee Police and Marquette University Police blocked off the street and were seen placing evidence markers and searching the area with flashlights.
Neighbors told TMJ4 News they heard what sounded like 10 to 15 gunshots just after 8 p.m.
“We just heard a lot of pops. We didn’t know what it was, so we ran inside — thought it was firecrackers,” said Marquette University junior Frank Shediac.
“It was close. It was close. So we were scared it could be right in our backyards,” added junior Colin Haughey.
In a post on X, Marquette Police said there was no threat to campus but urged people to avoid the area.
TMJ4 News has reached out to Milwaukee Police for more information, including the ages of those injured and what led up to the incident. We have not yet heard back.
