A 51-year-old man who gunned down at least three squirrels from inside his home near N. Teutonia and W. Custer avenues Sunday surrendered to officers after the Milwaukee Police Department’s tactical squad was called to the scene.
Neighbors who called police Sunday morning said the man was firing shots from his home between 6 and 8 a.m., according to Deputy Inspector Gregory Thompson.
The man surrendered about 10:40 a.m.
Officers found a gun inside the home and three dead squirrels in his backyard, Thompson said.
