MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A woman is dead and another hurt after a shooting on Milwaukee's north side.
The double shooting happened outside a home near 91st Street and W. Mill Road around 1:00 p.m. Monday. A woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A 28-year-old woman was also shot, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.
Barrette Graves was home when the shooting happened.
"Just hearing the gunshots ring out; I was thinking it was more than 6 shots," said Graves.
He thought someone was knocking at his front door and soon realized what he heard were gunshots.
"Five minutes later we heard the siren. I was upstairs, looked out the window, and that's when I saw the two bodies."
Graves just moved to the neighborhood two weeks ago, and fears for his and his childrens' safety.
"My kids could have been outside. Simply, every one of them could have gotten shot. I want to keep my family safe. That's all I care about," said Graves.
"When you see the yellow tape where your family lives it's pretty scary," said Marceia Johnson.
Johnson went to check on her siblings, who live near where the shooting happened.
"My brother said two girls were shot. One was crawling asking for some water," said Johnson.
Johnson's siblings were safe, but they couldn't come or go from the building during the investigation. While she let out a sigh of relief, she is thinking of the family of the two women.
"I just want to say prayers to the girls' families."
Police are investigating. No suspect or suspects are in custody.
Milwaukee police say an AMBER alert issued Monday night may be related.
