GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Shots rang out Tuesday night at the BP gas station on the east side of downtown Green Bay.
The shooting didn’t result in any injuries, but it was the 30th shots fired called police have responded to this year. Commander Kevin Warych says detectives worked through the night and well into the afternoon investigating the shooting.
“They’re working tirelessly to make sure that people in the community know that this is not tolerated. That we’re going to do everything possible to locate the people responsible for these crimes,” Warych told WTAQ News. “The gun violence we’re seeing in the city of Green Bay is alarming. It’s important for the community to know that we have investigators, officers, and the violent crime suppression task force working on this.”
The city’s violent crime suppression task force was reactivated last month to deal with the spike in shootings.
“We want to prevent these shootings occurring from the very beginning. So if people can have conversations with their kids, have conversation with their friends, to spread the word that there are alternative methods to handling disputes not via shooting.”
Police are looking for a suspect. They say those involved know each other and the public is not in any danger.
