Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett called the shooting an “unspeakable tragedy for our city.” “Five families, six families actually, are grieving and will be grieving because of this horrific act,” he said at a news conference Wednesday. “This is a time for us to think about those families because there are five individuals who went to work today, just like everybody goes to work, and they thought they were going to go to work, finish their day and return to their families. They didn’t, and tragically they never will.” (Ailworth and Maloney, 2/27)
