A tragic night was last night for the American city of Milwaukee where in five different firearms incidents three people were killed and at least 24 were injured.
Two of the incidents took place near the Fiserv Forum stadium, where the NBA national basketball championship match between the Bucks and the Celtics was taking place.
Seventeen people were injured during a fierce shootout on the main Water Street Bar District boulevard, a few blocks from the stadium, in the lake town of Milwaukee.
Police said they had arrested ten people and seized nine firearms. The injured ranged in age from 15 to 47 and are expected to survive, the Fox 6 Milwaukee network reported.
Some videos posted from the incident at the Fiserv Forum stadium show people in panic running to save lives.

“Everyone was running,” said witness Brittany Bergstrom for the Fox network 6. “There were people being crushed, hats and shoes on the ground, drinks spilled everywhere.”
Yesterday’s violence follows an escalation of the country’s arms crisis and softened policies against Democrats, who have angered the conservative population.
The city is led by Democrat Cavalier Johnson, 35, who won a separate election just last month.
