4ever you now have your topic. Go for it.

This isn't a Milwaukee story, but interesting. Last weekend squads from all 5 precincts responded to a shots fired call which was on the block our office is on. 130 casings were found within 2 blocks. We found over 30 on our property, and our building was grazed. The neighbor biz across the street has security video of shooters on our sidewalk and people laying on the ground to avoid gunfire. Amazingly, no one was hit (or reported an injury).
The ATF is parking a squad in our parking lot this weekend to deter more activity. They must suspect something is up for this weekend.

I heard explosions in Kyiv are on the rise. Oops, wrong topic.

For those actually interested in following Marquette Safety Alerts, they have a dedicated webpage:

And ways to sign up for automated alerts:

Though, I suspect the only poster that wants to post the information here, already follows those sources, and has an agenda.

Safety Update: Credit card skimmer recovered near campus
The Marquette University Police Department has recovered a credit card skimming device from the 7-Eleven convenience store located at 17th St. and West Wells St. The device is believed to have been in place for approximately six weeks. If you have made a purchase at the store in the last six weeks and swiped your credit or debit card, MUPD encourages you to monitor your account closely and change your PIN.
Only card swipe transactions may have been affected and not tap transactions.
MUPD offers the following safety tips to safeguard your credit card and personal information from being stolen by skimming machines:
Make purchases with chip-enabled cards.
Pay with cash instead of plastic.
Use an online or mobile payment service such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal.
Set up alerts to monitor activity on your credit and debit cards.
Regularly review your credit and debit card statements to check for suspicious transactions.
Pick gas pumps in well-lit areas within the line of sight of store employees. Scammers tend to install credit card skimming devices at pumps that are hard to see.
Avoid ATMs in out-of-the-way locations.
Go to another ATM or gas pump when you suspect the presence of a credit card skimmer.
If you observe any suspicious behavior or fear for your safety at any time, contact MUPD at (414) 288-1911 or through the mobile blue light feature on the Eagle Eye app.
