A violent weekend in Milwaukee continued into Monday as police investigated two shootings that left two people dead and one person wounded.
In total, 12 people were wounded either by knives or guns from Friday night through Monday morning, four of them fatally. One of the fatalities is believed to be a suicide. None of the cases appear to be related.
A 41-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman were killed just before 9 a.m. Monday in a shooting on Milwaukee's south side. Police would not say whether the shootings were related to domestic violence, though both victims lived in the house in the 4300 block of S. 5th St. Police do not believe the two were married.
A neighbor heard two bangs and saw a man outside with a gunshot wound. The woman was found shot in a minivan in the driveway, said Milwaukee police Lt. Kenneth Grams of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Grams did not divulge many specifics Monday.
"(We) always have to keep our mind open as to all different types of motives," he said.
Terry Finger has lived near the corner of S. 5th St. and W. Bolivar Ave. for 41 years. He said the woman who was shot grew up with her parents next door to his house. He said her parents now reside elsewhere in Wisconsin and the woman returned to the neighborhood several years ago.
