RACINE, WISCONSIN - Another burst of gun violence on Thursday left multiple people wounded at a cemetery in Wisconsin, following a spate of deadly mass shootings at a supermarket in New York, an elementary school in Texas and a hospital in Oklahoma.
The police department in Racine, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, reported on Twitter that multiple gunshots were fired at Graceland Cemetery, leaving an unspecified number of victims, but few additional details were given. Milwaukee television station TMJ4 News, citing family members attending the grave-side service, said five relatives of the man who was being buried at the time were struck by gunfire, though their conditions were not immediately known.
A man who lives across the street from the cemetery, Mr Rey Brantley, told the TV station he was picking his daughter up from school when he heard gunfire, and that his son was playing basketball nearby and came close to being shot. "Who in their right mind would go and shoot up a funeral in broad daylight," Mr Brantley said in an on-camera interview."Those people were attending a funeral."
