Overnight quadruple shooting in Milwaukee injures four near Fiserv Forum, Deer District
An overnight quadruple shooting in downtown Milwaukee sent four young adults to hospitals for injuries, according to the Milwaukee Police Department. The shooting happened around 2:47 a.m. June 8 on the 300 block of West McKinley Avenue, one block northeast of the Deer District and Fiserv Forum. Three 22-year-old victims were transported to local hospitals for injuries, though police did not specify if the injuries were gunshot wounds. Another 21-year-old-victim sustained a non-fatal gunshot wound, police said, and was taken to a hospital. No one died in the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and police seek unknown suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee police at (414) 935-7360. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-Tips or P3 Tips. The shooting comes two days after two shootings that happened minutes apart on West Hampton Avenue, killing two and injuring four. Those shootings prompted Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson to issue a statement, asking the city's residents to take "all possible steps" to reduce gun violence. "To anyone inclined to shamelessly shoot at another human being, your actions will land you in prison," Johnson said. Gun violence has risen in recent weeks, with homicides in mid-May outpacing 2024 figures. The increase has prompted concern among violence prevention groups.

British soldier arrested in Kenya over what UK media report is a rape accusation
LONDON (AP) — A member of Britain's armed forces has been arrested in Kenya and U.K. military police are investigating, the Ministry of Defense said Sunday. The BBC and other British media reported that a British Army soldier was accused of rape. 'We can confirm the arrest of a Service person in Kenya,' the defense ministry said in a statement. 'As the matter is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Defence Serious Crime Command, we will not comment further.' A U.K.-Kenya defense cooperation agreement allows thousands of British soldiers to train in the East African country each year. About 200 U.K. troops are based there permanently to train Kenyan soldiers. Some Kenyans have long complained about the soldiers' behavior and the atmosphere around their training camp near the town of Nanyuki. There was an outcry over the 2012 death of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru, who was last seen alive leaving a bar with British troops near their training camp. Her body was later found in a septic tank. Wanjiru's family has campaigned for years for the suspected perpetrator, a serving British soldier at the time, to be charged. In April, U.K Defense Secretary John Healey met with Wanjiru's relatives in Kenya and vowed to 'help the family secure the justice they deserve.' The British Army has launched an inquiry into allegations of unacceptable behavior by U.K. personnel in Kenya. The Ministry of Defense said in a statement that all British personnel in the country 'have clear direction about how to behave, on and off duty, must complete mandatory training and attend compulsory briefings on conduct. We will have zero tolerance for unacceptable behavior.'
