MILWAUKEE 9US), Jan 8 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Police in the northern US state of Wisconsin said they are looking for a man who shot two children who threw snowballs at his car over the weekend.
The children – a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year old boy – suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds, the Milwaukee Police said in a statement.
They were part of a group of kids throwing snowballs at passing cars Saturday evening in Milwaukee, a city of about half a million people 145km north of Chicago.
“One of the snowballs struck a white Toyota, no further description, and the driver of the auto fired shots into the group of kids striking the two victims,” the statement said.
Police found the 12-year-old girl and the 13-year-old boy minutes apart. Both children are being treated at a local hospital, police said.
The department asked for help identifying the shooter. — NNN-AGENCIES
