Shootings on a city street on a Saturday afternoon.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Two teenage boys were shot Saturday after a gun-wielding man jumped out of a passing vehicle and demanded a leather jacket that one of the boys was wearing, Milwaukee police said today.
Milwaukee police Capt. James Shepard described the garment as a popular leather jacket bearing the likeness of the Al Pacino character in the movie "Scarface."
Shepard said the gunman escaped with the jacket after shooting both boys in their feet.
The 16-year-old wearing the jacket and a 14-year-old friend both were treated for their injuries and released from local hospitals, Shepard said.
The incident occurred about 1:25 p.m. Saturday in the 5200 block of N. 68th Street.
Do people care about this?
Teenagers get shot over a jacket.
Is this just business as usual in Milwaukee?
It's often said that violence and crime is a serious problem in the inner city, but much of Milwaukee is safe.
Is N. 68th the inner city?
Crime is spreading. Things are getting worse, not better.
Good luck to the new police chief.
