Surveillance video showed the events unfolded how the witnesses said it did, prosecutors said, and also showed the man trying to break up the fight. It showed a magazine drop from the gun "almost simultaneously" with the time a gunshot was "clearly heard" and the victim was running away and falling down.
Later that morning, officers found the car and the man who was with Campbell and pulled him over. He said he was on his way to the police station to turn in his gun because it was used in a shooting. He, too, recounted the fight and shooting at George Webb.
Campbell is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the case. Court records show she is being held in the Milwaukee County Jail on $100,000 bond.
