A Public Service Announcement from OneMilwaukee.org
Like many cities its size, Milwaukee is facing a critical juncture in its battle to control gun violence in the city's most impoverished areas. The good news is that non-fatal shootings declined in 2007 by 22%. The bad news is the number of homicides in Milwaukee continues to hover around 100 while homicides remain the leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-old males in Milwaukee.
