Armed Robbery Reported In South Milwaukee; Gun Found In Oak Creek Sikh Temple Parking Lot

Here are details from the South Milwaukee Police Department …

On the evening of January 5th, 2013, SMPD received a call of an armed robbery  in the 800 block of Lakeview Ave.  A suspect vehicle was later observed by SMPD officers, and the vehicle was stopped in the 7500 block of Howell Ave. in Oak Creek.  A foot chase with two subjects that fled the vehicle resulted in their apprehension.  A firearm believed to have been used in the robbery was later recovered in the parking lot of the Sikh Temple.  This case remains under investigation.  It is believed all suspects have been taken into custody.

Here is coverage from Oak Creek Patch. I’ll keep you posted.

Prayers For The Oak Creek Shooting Victims

With the international media descending on the South Shore following Sunday’s domestic terrorism attack at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek — and authorities searching what could be the suspect’s home in Cudahy — there isn’t much I can offer here in terms of news updates.

I’ll leave that to everyone from local outlets like the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Oak Creek Patch and WISN and international outlets like CNN and the New York Times.

I only offer this: My heartfelt thoughts and prayers for everyone impacted by this senseless tragedy, from the families of the victims to those who live among and interact with the Sikh community everyday. And that’s probably most of us in South Milwaukee.

I also offers prayers, and hope, that we can somehow end the gun violence epidemic facing our country. From the dozens of murders throughout the Milwaukee area each year to the too-frequent massacres like we saw Sunday, something has to be done.

I pray we find a solution to this.
