Milwaukee police say a 47-year-old man was handling a firearm that discharged and struck the 8-year-old.
Johnson revealed the details of that plan on January 12. His goals center around investing in law enforcement and helping support the groups that stop violence before it happens.
"The death of an eight-year old Milwaukee girl this afternoon is heartbreaking. Mistaken gunfire has extinguished another innocent life. I offer my condolences to her family. Please, put down the guns. If you have a gun in your home, secure it with a trigger lock or in a safe. Never, never handle a gun near children," Johnson said in a statement.spoke with Ronald and Joyce Shabazz, neighbors of the victim.
"No, I don't think so no, and we have the Marquette and they have the cameras up but usually because we have the ring doorbell and the cameras, they ask us to look at footage," the Shabazzs said. Joyce went on to say they were saddened to hear the news and they believe a strong community initiative could help prevent these types of incidents.
"Whatever happened to a neighborhood watch group? Whatever happened to that type of thing? And especially since the coronavirus, we definitely aren't speaking to our neighbors. So you know we aren't getting any closer to being a community, as a matter a fact we are growing further and further away from being a community," she said.
