Three people were wounded in two separate overnight shootings in Milwaukee: one near 35th Street and McKinley Boulevard in Cold Spring Park injured a 20-year-old, while another near 46th Street and Glendale Avenue, close to Harriet Tubman Park, injured two people. All three victims were expected to survive.
The first shooting happened around 11 p.m. Friday near 35th Street and McKinley Boulevard in the Cold Spring Park neighborhood, according to WISN. A 20-year-old was struck and was expected to be OK, but as of the station's report, no one had been arrested and police were still searching for the person believed responsible.
Hours later, a second shooting broke out at about 2:05 a.m. Saturday near 46th Street and Glendale Avenue in the Wahl Park neighborhood, close to Harriet Tubman Park. That shooting injured a 23-year-old and an 18-year-old, both of whom were expected to survive, per the same report. No arrests had been reported in that case either.
Police Still Seeking Information on Both Cases
Investigators are asking anyone with information on either shooting to come forward. People with tips are asked to call Milwaukee police or Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS, the outlet's report notes.
The area around 46th and Glendale has seen gunfire before. Back on March 15, a shooting in that same vicinity, at about 3:35 a.m., left a 38-year-old injured and taken to a local hospital, according to fox6now.com. In that earlier case, an 18-year-old man was arrested after allegedly handling a firearm that discharged and struck the victim, that outlet reported.
Non-Fatal Shootings Down Sharply Compared to Last Year
Despite this weekend's violence, the broader trend in Milwaukee points in a more encouraging direction. Milwaukee Police Department crime data cited by the station's report shows non-deadly shootings are down substantially in 2026 compared with the year before.
The city had recorded 305 non-fatal shootings in 2026 as of September 24, compared with 400 at the same point in 2025, per the same account. That drop of nearly a quarter doesn't erase the danger for victims like the three hurt this weekend, but it does suggest the city's non-fatal shooting numbers are trending downward even as individual incidents like these continue to occur.
