Federal drug agent fires at man, authorities say

A plainclothes federal drug agent fired at a man who pointed a gun at him Tuesday afternoon but no one was hit, authorities said.

An agent of the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, working alongside a plainclothes Milwaukee police officer in cooperation with the Milwaukee High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, discharged his gun about 1 p.m. near the intersection of N. 82nd St. and W. Grantosa Drive, said Anne E. Schwartz, Milwaukee police spokeswoman.

The shooting occurred near Grantosa Drive School, which went into lockdown mode for about an hour, keeping students inside closed classrooms until police cleared the situation, Milwaukee Public Schools spokeswoman Roseann St. Aubin said.

Most students were dismissed at 2:30 p.m. as usual, but students who normally walk to school were kept until parents could pick them up...

At least 10 arrested after fight outside high school

A large fight outside a basketball game Tuesday night at Vincent High School resulted in at least 10 arrests, according to a Milwaukee Public Schools spokeswoman.

Early indications were that the fight involved a group of youths loitering in a parking area outside the gym and another group that left the boys basketball game between Vincent and Madison high schools during the third quarter, said Roseann St. Aubin, MPS spokeswoman.

Police were still at the school about 10:15 p.m., St. Aubin said, adding that the final arrest count would likely be higher.

I believe in promoting the Milwaukee region. Some however, are of the impression that if we downplay our troubles, it's better for our image.

We can't imagine these problems away.

Occurrences like these deserve more extensive coverage by the local paper.
