Police arrest 15-year-old boy over Wisconsin mall shooting

The name of the suspect has not been released, and authorities did not announce any charges.

A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a Milwaukee shopping mall that injured eight people, authorities have said.

Wauwatosa Police Chief Barry Weber said the shooting happened during a dispute on Friday afternoon between two groups.

He said four “innocent bystanders” suffered what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

Investigators said the suspect ran out of the mall alongside other other people.

“We do know there was some sort of altercation, and that’s when the bullets started flying,” Weber said during a press conference.

The name of the suspect has not been released, and authorities did not announce any charges.

Investigators say they have recovered a firearm.

The mall was closed on Saturday, and investigators were on scene overnight. Shoppers were allowed back yesterday, police said.

    I’ve worked shift work all my working life which includes nights and earlys and weekends included.Last year took on a project in work that meant i only worked days for 6 months ,tuesdays to fridays and no weekends.I dropped a considerable amount of money due to loss of shift pay but it was the best 6 months i’ve spent working in my life due to the weekends off ,no nights and sociable hours.I would gladly take a pay cut to work it permanently but in my line of work its not feasable.Theres way more important things to a job than money for sure

    Getting paid more is far more desirable than office fun.

    Sounds like a survey commissioned to discourage pay rises in place of bean bags and space invader machines.

    Thanks the reason that the government gave themselves a pay rise is because they don’t have any craic in their work place

    Obviously those surveyed are on good money, for most though a pay rise would be the preferred choice, its ridiculous to say the craic is more important than a proper wage.

    Having the so called Craic can be sexual harassment, bullying, gossip mongering and depends who is doing it sociopaths or psychopaths…
    The term craic can mean so many things to so many people including racism?

    “Craic” drives me mad too. Or maybe it’s just that I’m no crack.

    I highly doubt they’re saying that crack cocaine is better than craic with people!

    Might make the day pass faster though! A bit of crack to help deal with the craic!

    It’s not an Irish word. It has an unusual history; The English ”crack”was borrowed into Irish as craic in the mid-20th century and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.

    It may not be As Gaeilge but craic is an Irish word.
