Republican Candidates Promise Tough On Crime Approach After Deer District Shootings
The governor on Saturday offered thoughts and prayers, but didn’t offer any plans after Milwaukee’s violent weekend.
The Republicans running for governor in Wisconsin are promising more cops, more prisons, and say they'll fire prosecutors who don’t get tough on crime after a violent weekend in Milwaukee that saw more than two dozen people shot.
Milwaukee Police say Friday night’s deer district shootings wounded 21 people. Another of those shootings saw 17 people shot. A string of shootings on Sunday saw another five people shot, including two people who died.
Monday saw the Republicans running for governor promising to get tougher on crime if elected.
