Local NewsHomicide on 12th and LocustBy Charles Benson
MILWAUKEE - One person is dead and another was rushed to the hospital after a shooting Wednesday evening on the north side.
Now the search is on for the gunman.
It was an emotional scene for relatives and a frightening scene for neighbors.
One woman who was afraid to talk on camera tells me when the bullets started flying she started ducking. "I dodged the bullets," said the eyewitness. "I was in my car, heard the shots and everybody hit the floor."
The shots were fired near 12th and Locust.
Police Captain Michael Massa said witnesses say a white van pulled up, stop and someone started shooting. Two men between houses were hit. One was killed. The other was hit in the leg.
Police locked down the scene looking for clues.
As word spread about the shooting, family members arrived to learn Milwaukee's latest homicide victim was a 21-year-old man who they knew.
Neighbors, too afraid to talk on camera, were scared. "We thought we were a goner," said one eyewitness. "We were praying crying and hollering at the same time."
Police did catch a couple people running from the scene but at this point, they are not calling them suspects.
