Following the shooting after Saturday night’s Shake the Lake festival, Madison’s mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway has released a statement.

“It is entirely unacceptable that someone brought a gun to last nights’ Festival Foods Shake the Lake fireworks display, an event enjoyed by thousands of people, including many children.

I am very aware that there were numerous security precautions taken at the event with a private/public partnership including a significant number of Madison police officers.

I will be working with the police and other city staff to see what measures can be taken to enhance security at this event and other public events. But our job is made more difficultby a state legislature that advances reckless gun laws and at the same time curtails the rights of cities to take further action.”

The shooting happened under the bridge on John Nolen Drive late Saturday night. One person was shot and sustained non-life threatening injuries. An officer was also injured in the commotion.

The Madison Police Department is continuing the investigation now. Officers say the suspect and victim knew each other.
