Car crash on Milwaukee's south side ends in gunfire, 17-year-old injured
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A 17-year-old is in the hospital after a shooting Monday morning on Milwaukee's south side.
Milwaukee police say around 7:30 a.m., a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old man got into a fight after a car crash near Scott and 6th Street.
Investigators say the 20-year-old man shot the 17-year-old, who was later sent to a nearby hospital.
The 20-year-old man was arrested.
Maria Sanchez has lived on the corner of Scott and 6th street for 20 years. Now, shattered glass and yellow tape cover her street.
“When I got here, to my house, I saw the police, I saw the accident. It was bad,” said Sanchez.
Sankyta Smith takes the bus nearby every morning. He says he just wants better for the neighborhood.
“It sucks. It’s disgusting,” said Smith. “People shooting and killing people. Come on now. This just doesn't make any sense."
Milwaukee police say charges were referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
