Police: Man shoots, kills 2 teens during beating Milwaukee
Channel3000 ^ | 3/12/2014 | Channel 3000



Milwaukee police say a maintenance man shot and killed two teenagers as he was being beaten with a baseball bat.

It happened Wednesday afternoon in an apartment building on Milwaukee's west side.

Authorities say a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl died at the scene.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn says the two teens, along with a 21-year-old man, got into an argument with the 39-year-old maintenance man in a stairwell in a common area of the building.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports one of the three beat the maintenance man while he was being held. The maintenance man then pulled a gun and shot the two teens.

Flynn says the maintenance man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 21-year-old man was arrested

Holy **** with the ridiculous levels of racism in the comments of that article.

That being said, good shooting, clearly. The fact that he didn't kill the third looks better anyway. Gives that air of "I only shot as many times as needed to stop the attack".

Now was that an advantage of CC or would the man have been attacked if the teens saw him armed or would they have targeted him because he had a weapon? :uhoh::rolleyes::uhoh::rolleyes:

No one will ever know, but I prefer NOT to be beaten and NOT have to use my sidearm to survive. Seems most of these reports involve citizens who conceal, which lends the theory that CC look just like any other victim.

Well, with the new information (that he was arrested for murder) still have the same answer?

Maybe he got beat and shot them while running away. Maybe we'll never know.

Hope everyone gets a fair hearing...
