So far in 2023, 12 kids have been killed by guns in Milwaukee County, roughly on pace to match last year’s total of 24 people under 18 killed by guns. Since the pandemic, each year has had more than 20 people under 18 killed by guns, a dramatic increase from the three years prior, where the total never hit double digits.

Only a few more thoughts and prayers and we'll have it licked.

Looks like the police will start enforcing the night curfew for those under 18 with fines to the teen and the parent.

Good that the parents are being held accountable!
