A Sunday morning shooting has a central city neighborhood on edge.

A man was found shot in his home in the 6700 block of 24th Avenue around 8:30 Sunday. The shooting victim, 39, is in critical condition and being treated for life-threatening injuries at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa.

Kenosha Police were called to the scene after area residents reported hearing gunfire. The man, whose name has not been released, lived with his girlfriend in the lower unit of a two-unit building.

The circumstances of the shooting are still under investigation, police said, and they have released little information on the investigation. Squad cars remained stationed outside the scene, 6727 24th Ave., Monday night.

Neighbors recount incidentThe Kenosha News interviewed more than a dozen area residents Monday evening, many of whom said they heard a single gunshot that sounded like a firework and then a woman screaming.

“A woman was screaming and asking for help,” said an area resident who translated her father’s statement. “Somebody was screaming.”

A neighbor said he was one of the first people at the scene. He said he found the victim shot near the back of the head in the upstairs unit.
