On Monday afternoon, six teens were shot towards the end of Milwaukee’s Juneteenth celebration.
According to local officials, the shooting occurred at approximately 4:20 pm, approximately 20 minutes after the event had ended outside Greater Philadelphia Church of God in Christ.
Hundreds of people were still walking the streets at the time of the shooting.
A Facebook Live video taken by a witness following the shootings showed at least two people with gunshot wounds being treated by paramedics.
The person who filmed the video said during the live stream that a teenage girl had sustained a gunshot wound to the neck and was trying to comfort a friend who was crying while trying to call her mother.
According to Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman, six teens were shot, including a 17-year-old who may have been the gunman and is now in custody.
He added that law enforcement is still searching for additional suspects who have not yet been identified.
The victims, four girls, and two boys ranged in age from 14-19 but their injuries did not appear life-threatening.
Norman said during a presser, “Milwaukee, what’s going on with our children?”
“Parents, guardians, elders, we need to engage in ensuring that this violence that our children are bringing these streets ceases. No handgun, no weapons of destruction, should be in the hands of our young ones,” he continued
Norman added, “This is a story that plays out too often, and it’s getting really old. Really old.”
T. Jenkins told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that a fight between two women occurred before the shooting and then a young man pulled out a gun and everyone scattered and that the man did some of the shooting.
Over Juneteenth weekend, CBS reported that at least 12 have been killed and over 100 have been injured in shootings across the US.

Looks like BLACKS are free to shoot and kill each other in celebration of the end of slavery. No since taking advantage of the possibilities to improve one's life and education. Now, they are just slaves to their own culture of lawlessness and anarchy. True freedom, just like in the nations of Africa. Ahh, it's good to be home.
