MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Baltz pleaded not guilty and was bound over for trial Wednesday, June 27th on one count of endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon. This, for his alleged involvement in a shooting incident near 70th and Fond du Lac Ave. in May.

According to the criminal complaint, Baltz and a friend were at a party when after a fight, they were told to leave.

The criminal complaint indicates Baltz and his friend then returned to the home where the party was being held early the next morning, and intentionally fired a gun at the home.
