Milwaukee Shooting Sparks Mayhem Among Huge Crowd of Celebrating Bucks Fans

Milwaukee Bucks fans ran for safety just hours after the NBA team's championship victory when dozens of gunshots rang out as people celebrated in the street.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, more than a dozen shots were fired at a location between Water Street and Juneau Avenue at about 12:45 a.m. local time on Wednesday morning.

The outlet added that as of 1 a.m. three people had been seen handcuffed on Juneau Avenue.

It added that a police officer told one of the outlet's reporters: "We probably have some injuries."

There was no confirmation about the condition of those injured, how many had suffered gunshot wounds and the identities of those arrested.

The shooting happened just hours after the Milwaukee Bucks secured their first title in 50 years when they beat the Phoenix Suns in a 105-98 point victory.

Newsweek has contacted the Milwaukee Police Department for comment.
