It is a celebration not a riot.
People need to relax and just have fun.
No one needs to be shot after winning a championship.
Two shootings in downtown Milwaukee early Wednesday as crowds celebrated the Milwaukee Bucks’ first NBA championship in 50 years left three people wounded, police said.
During Tuesday night’s game, a police officer was trampled by people trying to get into the Deer District watch party after the area had reached capacity, Milwaukee police Capt. Jesús Ortiz said in an email. The officer didn’t sustain any major injuries but reported being in general pain, Ortiz said.
Following one of the shootings, a 22-year-old man had non-life-threatening injuries, police said, and a suspect was in custody.
In the other shooting, which police said happened simultaneously, a 19-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man had non-life-threatening injuries.
Thankfully no one was killed.
