At least 10 people were injured when a shooting broke out at an overnight party on the rooftop of an apartment building in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, according to police. While police work to determine the extent of the injuries among victims being treated at area hospitals, including minors, they said none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. Police had no information on suspects and no arrests have been made. Emergency personnel responded to what police believe may have been a high school graduation party when the shooting started, just before 1 a.m. Sunday, and rushed to the top of the apartment building. According to a police statement, the first officer to arrive at the scene reported seeing “dozens of people attempting to run from the building,” and officers ran up 12 flights of stairs in order to reach people. Police said victims range in age between 14 and 23 years old but not all the injuries were gunshot wounds. “We know now that we have multiple victims in area hospitals, we’re working now to determine the extent of those injuries. But none of those injuries at this point appear to be life-threatening, which is certainly fortunate for such a chaotic scene,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said.

Trump, who has long fashioned himself the Builder-in-Chief, they take only days to reduce the 123-year-old East Wing of the White House to rubble. No drawn-out debate. No approval by independent preservationists.
