MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley released the following statement regarding the police shooting that occurred today outside King Park.
“My heart goes out to the families, the community, and all those affected by the tragic events that occurred outside King Park today. The Milwaukee County Department of Health and Human Services works closely in this neighborhood and are already in the area providing assistance and counseling to those in need. But as we have seen in the past, the trauma and grief that residents are currently experiencing will impact their day-to-day lives long after today. We must keep working to stop the cycle of violence and foster safer neighborhoods for every resident, family, and child in Milwaukee. As the investigation continues, I am calling for full accountability and transparency, including more details about how this situation unfolded that resulted in deadly force and a loss of life.”
