MILWAUKEE — A four-year-old was shot and killed Sunday morning in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Police Department said it happened near 64th Court and Bradley Road at 10:23 a.m. on Sunday.
The child was taken to the hospital where they were pronounced dead.
“I came downstairs, looked out the window, and saw police,” a neighbor told TMJ4. “I don’t even know what to say. A baby? [Four] years old?” she asked in disbelief.
Police said two guns were recovered as a result of the investigation. TMJ4 asked what led up to the shooting, but they did not immediately respond.
“How does someone have two guns in the house and let kids see where they’re at? Aren’t we supposed to have safety locks on them?” Earnestine Moss-Bates, another neighbor, asked.
She was on her way home from church when she saw her apartment taped off. She and other neighbors shared their sadness after learning a child died.
“It’s just hard that we’re losing kids like that. My sister lost her niece. She’s still going through it,” Moss-Bates said.
Police tell TMJ4 that they do not have anyone in custody.
The case will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
