MILWAUKEE – At least 21 people have been shot and wounded in three separate shootings in Milwaukee district in central Milwaukee after the Milwaukee Bucks playoffs, which drew thousands of people to the Deer District.
Following the shooting, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson imposed a curfew on Saturday afternoon in some parts of the city on Saturday and Sunday nights. Arrival time will be from 11pm to 5:30 am for people under the age of 21.
One of the threats, which occurred shortly after 11pm, left 17 people injured. Five of the injured were armed and jailed, he said on Saturday.
The victims were between the ages of 15 and 47, and all were expected to survive, Milwaukee police said. Ten people, from minors to adults, were arrested and nine firearms were recovered.

During the shooting, police arrested a 19-year-old man and said two other men, aged 29 and 26, were injured.
The shooters sent hundreds of fans across Deer County, where 11,000 people gathered to watch the 6th Eastern Conference semifinal playoff match between the Bucks and Boston Celtics.
Shortly after the shooting, at about 10:30 pm, a 20-year-old boy was shot and wounded. Police said Saturday that the shooting did not appear to be linked to the last shooting that took place in the same area.

‘Bullets fired everywhere’: Conflict Witnesses in Deer district
By Saturday morning, Deer District North Water Street was littered with garbage, bloodshed and evacuation. Broken glasses, empty beer bottles, a pair of shoes, a blood-stained coat, and thin linen cloths filled the streets.
A small police force from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and two staff members at Milwaukee Downtown, a business district, were picking up trash and garbage.
Michael Tulsky, a MSOE student, was inside his home when he heard gunshots. Within five minutes, he heard another gunshot.
“Bullets were spraying everywhere,” Tulsky said.
Tulsky looked out of his window at the intersection as troops fled from the area. He says: “The people split up like the Red Sea. “Everyone got out of here as fast as they could.”
Tulsky also saw a car about to hit a police officer crossing the road to the scene of the shooting. He also said he saw what appeared to be a police fire on the car, but Milwaukee police strongly denied the allegations, saying no police officers fired shots into the crowd on Friday.
“No,” Assistant Director Nicole Waldner told reporters.
Tulsky said he wants to stay within the Bucks’ next game, away from his windows. He said.
Another Witness, Timothy Seymour, was inside a nearby Trinity Three Irish Pubs when he looked out the window and saw people running outside.
At first he did not know what had happened, but a second 15-minute shot made him realize that there had been two shots, he said. The bar staff pulled everyone inside, where they waited until 11:30 pm
“As a city, we must do well. It doesn’t even matter about the game at the time. The fact that someone is just making it doesn’t hurt, “said Seymor, who lives in Milwaukee all his life and said he had never seen gun violence at this level.
‘Everyone has a gun’: Alderman connects with last summer’s violence
Last summer, violence in the Water Street area – including reckless driving, fights and shootings – sparked widespread interest from promises from government officials to ensure the region was safe.
Police have vowed to remain “always” in the area over the weekend and night of the Bucks home game. At the time, the owner of one bar nominated officials “the crime that has taken place on our street is shocking and shocking.”
In an interview Saturday morning, Milwaukee Ald. Robert Bauman, a resident of the town, said he had been representing from condominium agencies last month or two about their concerns over last summer’s violence.
“I told them frankly, given the current situation, I do not know why last summer’s violence will not happen again,” Bauman said. “I mean, you have the same power.”
“The police told me last year and I doubt it is true – everyone has a gun,” he said. “They’re great, by far.”
Alderman said he had been told police were planning to operate and have more people in the city, but Bauman wanted to discuss security around interesting areas, search weapons, and remove cars from roads in the area.
Milwaukee County Commissioner David Crowley and Council President José G. Pérez were not immediately reached for comment Saturday morning. Johnson, police chiefs and other officials spoke to reporters Saturday afternoon.
