Incident near 37th and Burleigh, Milwaukee





The shooting occurred around 1:45 p.m. Friday March 31st near 37th and Burleigh. Police blocked parts of the roads trying to figure out who was shooting and why.



“I mean, that’s very difficult situation for anyone to go through. I mean, nobody is expecting a bullet to come crashing through the windshield of their car. So, like anybody experiencing something like that, the officers were very shaken and alarmed by this incident," said Assistant Chief James Harpole.



The aftermath of the startling shooting played out for hours.

As two Milwaukee police officers sat in a parked squad, a bullet struck the windshield. They were just one block away from Milwaukee Police District Seven.



"The officers are very shaken and very alarmed by this incident," said Harpole.



Neither officer was hit by the gunfire. However, one suffered minor injuries from glass shattered by the bullet. It's unclear whether they were the intended targets.



"It's disheartening to keep seeing stuff like this happen when you are trying to get kids on the right path," Jeffery Becton, works nearby.
