4-year-old killed in shooting in Milwaukee, 2 arrested
With smartphones we seem to be awash in home videos these days. It’s easy to point, shoot and share. But that wasn’t the case 80 years ago when video camera technology was still in its infancy. That’s what makes the collection one local family has so special.
