In separate shootings, a Milwaukee child was shot and killed, two teens injured
A Milwaukee 12-year-old was shot and killed on the city's northwest side.
The shooting happened on the 5000 block of North 73rd Street at about 1:19 a.m. on June 13, the Milwaukee Police Department said in a news release. Authorities have yet to arrest anyone and continue to investigate the fatal shooting.
The shooting of the child was at least the eighth so far this year, according to data from the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission updated through May 25. Twenty-three other children or teenagers have been the victims of non-fatal shooting, the data shows.
In all, there have been 58 reported homicides this year in Milwaukee, according to police data. That's an uptick from the same time period last year, when there were 51.
The 12-year-old's death happened after other notable shootings took place in the city, including of other youth.
Two 17-year-olds were shot on the 3000 block of North 14th Street on June 12. One of injured took themselves to the hospital, while the other was transported by authorities, police said.
That shooting is being investigated, but police said it appeared it was related to a dispute between two groups. Police continue to seek unknown and known suspects.
A 30-year-old Milwaukee police officer was also injured in a shooting that took place on the 4600 block of West Hampton Avenue at about 6:46 p.m. That officer shot and injured a 39-year-old man during the incident. Police arrested a 19-year-old man following as well.
It followed the officers chasing the two men, after receiving a report of two people "flashing guns," Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said.
The police are asking anyone with information on the shooting of the 12-year-old and the teenagers to contact the department at 414-935-7360 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-Tips or P3 Tips.
