Circumstances that lead to the shootings are under investigation, but people could be seen celebrating in the surrounding areas.

TV station WISN had a reporter broadcasting from the scene when multiple shots were heard, prompting people to flee.

The two shootings, which were in the immediate area of the celebrations, likely were what was heard during the TV coverage, Milwaukee police Capt. Jesús Ortiz said in an email.

Footage from the scene showed dozens of people running down the street as at least two shots could be heard ringing out.
