“This is an apartment complex,” Brester noted. “The whole stretch of Humboldt Road has several densely populated apartments, so, yes, quite a few people were affected that live close by. Thankfully, nobody else was injured that was in the area, but we have been talking to all the neighbors to make sure everything is OK.”

Multiple agencies were on the scene as part of a mutual aid response.

“If there is a large-scale incident, such as a shooting or major accident, we can request assistance from other agencies to initially respond to the scene. get everything under control,” Capt. Brester explained. “On this incident, the call came in. We were unaware of the total magnitude of the call .-- how many people had been injured, how many suspects were there, et cetera -- so we did do a mutual aid and were assisted by UW-Green Bay Police, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, and the De Pere Police Department.”
