9-year-old fatally shot in Milwaukee; city's 4th young gunshot victim in recent weeks

Source: ABC News

A 9-year-old boy was shot and killed early Thursday in Milwaukee, police said, becoming the fourth young gunshot victim in the city in recent weeks.

Jonael Zambrano died at a hospital, about two hours after he was shot in a bedroom around midnight, the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office said.

The boy was a student at Greater Holy Temple Christian Academy. FOX6 News quoted his family as saying shots were fired from outside the apartment building

“These are things that should not happen," Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said. “There is no way, no how that ... on the night of the last day of school before summer break that a kid should have lost his life because somebody decided to shoot a gun.”
