Concealed Gun Carrier Screws Up, Shoots Four At Restaurant
Police: Man accidentally discharges gun, injures 4 Marquette students
MILWAUKEE June 22, 2016—Police said a man accidentally discharged his weapon and injured four Marquette students at Sobelman's restaurant Wednesday evening.
David Sobelman said his restaurant at 16th and Wells streets was on lockdown after the shooting, which took place around 7:30 p.m.
Police said the shooter, a man in his 20s, accidentally fired a gun in the vestibule at Sobelman's front door. Debris from the bullet hit four Marquette students who were standing nearby.
The students, three females and a male, were only dealt minor injuries and didn't go to the hospital.
The man left after the shooting, police said.
Sobelman said the shooter and his friends got into a car and "disappeared."
"You have to be pretty stupid to shoot yourself with your own gun," Sobelman said.
Police are unsure if the man injured himself and do not have anyone in custody in connection to the incident.
An investigation is ongoing.
