Reaction

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson

"Gun violence over the past weekend is entirely unacceptable in this city. My thoughts are with the shooting victims, their friends and their families.

"The Milwaukee Police have made arrests and are continuing to investigate all the incidents that took place.  The Milwaukee Fire Department provided emergency medical services and deserve praise for their work.

"I insist our criminal justice system fully prosecute and punish those responsible for this violence.  I am directing our Office of Violence Prevention to take every reasonable step to educate, intervene and mediate so that we can reduce the gun violence here.

"I again ask everyone – parents, neighbors, teachers, preachers, and mentors – to step up in ways that will help stop the bloodshed. I will add, leaders and legislators must take a renewed look at our gun laws to decrease the likelihood that guns end up in the hands of people who should not have them."
