Every city celebrates winning a Championship differently, but most cities unfortunately can’t avoid the violence that inevitably erupts. Two shootings in downtown Milwaukee took place early Wednesday as crowds celebrated the Milwaukee Bucks’ first NBA championship in 50 years. When the smoke cleared, three people were wounded, police said.
Local TV station WISN was reporting live from the scene when multiple shots rang out, sending dozens of people to run for cover.
