BREAKING: Six youths shot after Milwaukee Juneteenth celebration
Post Millennial ^ | Jun 20, 2023

According to Milwaukee Police, six teens were shot, including a 17-year-old who may have been the gunman and is now in custody.

On Monday afternoon, six teens were shot towards the end of Milwaukee’s Juneteenth celebration.

According to local officials, the shooting occurred at approximately 4:20 pm, approximately 20 minutes after the event had ended outside Greater Philadelphia Church of God in Christ.

Hundreds of people were still walking the streets at the time of the shooting.

A Facebook Live video taken by a witness following the shootings showed at least two people with gunshot wounds being treated by paramedics.

The person who filmed the video said during the live stream that a teenage girl had sustained a gunshot wound to the neck and was trying to comfort a friend who was crying while trying to call her mother.

According to Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman, six teens were shot, including a 17-year-old who may have been the gunman and is now in custody.

He added that law enforcement is still searching for additional suspects who have not yet been identified.

The victims, four girls, and two boys ranged in age from 14-19 but their injuries did not appear life-threatening.

Norman said during a presser, “Milwaukee, what’s going on with our children?”

“Parents, guardians, elders, we need to engage in ensuring that this violence that our children are bringing these streets ceases. No handgun, no weapons of destruction, should be in the hands of our young ones,” he continued

Norman added, “This is a story that plays out too often, and it’s getting really old. Really old.”

T. Jenkins told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that a fight between two women occurred before the shooting and then a young man pulled out a gun and everyone scattered and that the man did some of the shooting.

Over Juneteenth weekend, CBS reported that at least 12 have been killed and over 100 have been injured in shootings across the US.

Our convention site for next year. I’d love to attend but the shuttle ride between the hotel and convention center may not be worth it.

"“Right now I'm thinking a good deal about emancipation. One of our sins was slavery, another was emancipation. It's a paradox. In theory, emancipation was one of the glories of our democracy - and it was. But the way it was done led to tragedy, turning four million people loose with no jobs or trades or learning. And then in 1877 for a few electoral votes, just abandoning them entirely. A huge amount of pain and trouble resulted. Everybody in America is still paying for it.”

Maybe we should celebrate Juneteen from June 13 through June 19.

Why is it called Juneteenth, which isn't a word? Why not call it Jubilee Day, its original name? In reality, it is quickly becoming Hate Whitey Day.
