An unseasonably warm weekend in Milwaukee turned violent as a rash of shootings killed two people and injured nine, Milwaukee police said.

In one case, multiple shots were fired across a city street; another involved a crossfire.

A 46-year-old man died and a 45-year-old woman was hurt in a double shooting around 9 p.m. Sunday in the 4900 block of N. 36th St., police said. Further details were not available.

Just over an hour later, a 23-year-old Milwaukee man was killed in an exchange of gunfire in the 2900 Block of W. Mount Vernon, police said. Milwaukee fire crews attempted to revive him, but he died on the scene.

The outbreak of gunfire spanned the weekend. Around 7:45 p.m. Saturday, a 25-year-old man was shot and wounded in the 8300 block of W. Melvina St., and he took himself to a hospital. And just before midnight on Saturday, a 25-year-old man and a 24-year-old man were shot near 2700 N. 38th St.

Sunday afternoon, just after 2 p.m., three men were shot — one seriously injured — by at least two people firing from across a Milwaukee street. A 28-year-old Milwaukee man suffered serious injuries while two others, ages 50 and 17, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening in the 3900 block of N. 23rd St., police said.

Another shooting happened around 9:40 p.m. in the 3300 block of N. 12th St., where a 24-year-old man reported being shot while he stood on a friend's porch. And just after midnight, a 43-year-old man was wounded by shots fired from a passing vehicle in the 4200 block of W. Garfield Ave. Both of those victims are expected to survive.
