MILWAUKEE, WI – Recently, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) has responded to violent incidents in our downtown entertainment district area in the 600 block of N. Water Street, including a quintuple shooting that occurred early this morning.

MPD has been proactively working with our intergovernmental partners including the Common Council and the City Attorney’s Office to address these issues.

MPD is dedicated to working with our elected officials, our public safety partners and the community to cultivate a safe environment for everyone to enjoy our city especially during this summer.

MPD asks that we all do better at resolving conflict without resorting to gun violence. MPD will not tolerate violent behavior in our city and will hold those who engage in violence accountable.
