KENOSHA, Wis. — Two people were shot shortly after midnight Saturday at Lincoln Park following reports of a large gathering, a fight and gunfire, according to scanner traffic recorded by Kenosha County Eye.
The first call came in just after midnight Saturday morning when a caller reported a large party at Lincoln Park. Moments later, another caller reported that she had been struck by another person at the park.
Additional callers then reported that shots had been fired and that vehicles were fleeing the area.
Within minutes, officers with the Kenosha Police Department located a gunshot victim at the park. The Kenosha Fire Department was dispatched shortly thereafter.
Scanner traffic indicated that a female victim was later found with a possible gunshot wound to the leg. The woman reportedly told officers that her boyfriend had also been shot. Officers initially had difficulty locating the boyfriend, and scanner traffic indicated the female victim was not cooperating with investigators.
Police later advised firefighters that the scene was secure enough for medical personnel to enter.
A second gunshot victim was located in the parking lot of St. Catherine’s Hospital after being driven there by private vehicle. Pleasant Prairie police were requested to respond to the hospital.
Scanner traffic described one suspect as a Black male wearing a black ski mask, black Nike jacket, black pants and black shoes. Officers also reported that one male victim had suffered a gunshot wound to his lower right thigh.
Investigators located shell casings east of the park bath house. Scanner traffic indicated that at least two .22-caliber shell casings had been recovered.
Police further reported that two suspects were believed to have been involved in the shooting and fled the area in a Nissan sedan.
The conditions of the victims were not immediately known.

What in the heck is happening in Kenosha! Every week there is gun shots reported! The fatigue is real!!!
Gunshots reported man you should sit on your porch and listen to the ones going off that are not reported. It’s not all “fireworks” as they say lmfao
The saxophones are getting louder
Any guesses on the race of those involved?
Whatever people say about the shooters will be labeled racist or some other garbage …these are punk gangsters that have no regard or respect for life ….maybe they are just misunderstood …yeh ok …a collection of jackasses
