Police have urged people to avoid the area due to a 'critical incident.'
Racine Police Sgt. Kristi Wilcox was quoted by the station:"I heard it was mass chaos here. People were running, people just got in cars, and were screaming. I know we got multiple 911 calls that people were shot."
Nearby Ascension All Saints Hospital went on lockdown, and the whole cemetery was taped off, CBS 58 reported. Racine police stopped short calling the shooting gang related, but Sgt. Wilcox was quoted by CBS 58:"We're asking for calm and no retaliation of any kind. This city has seen enough right now, and we'd like to be able to rest for a little bit."
The City of Racine has issued a juvenile curfew in the wake of the shooting, CBS 58 Milwaukee reported. The curfew will be from 11 p.m. to 6 p.m. for anyone under 18."Today's heinous shooting at a cemetery while a family was already mourning the loss of a loved one is a new low for these perpetrators of violence in our community. The violence has got to stop! Revenge is not the answer. Ending gun violence is the top priority of the police department and my administration.
