Tom Barrett, Mayor of Milwaukee calls this incident “insanity.”
“It’s the insanity of people solving their problems with guns. It’s just completely insane, and we’re seeing way too much of that in this community this year,” Barrett says at the scene.
The incident took place near a funeral home where people were bidding farewell to 26-year-old Braxton Taylor, who was shot dead on September 17. The police have not yet solved this crime.
“We’re doing marches for police reform and police violence,“ Tracey Dent, an organizer with Milwaukee Coalition Against Hate said. “Now is the time to start marching for community violence. Let’s go down to these neighborhoods and high crime areas and let them know we’re not taking this anymore.”
