Milwaukee police say a maintenance man shot and killed two teenagers as he was being beaten with a baseball bat.
It happened Wednesday afternoon in an apartment building on Milwaukee's west side.
Authorities say a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl died at the scene.
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn says the two teens, along with a 21-year-old man, got into an argument with the 39-year-old maintenance man in a stairwell in a common area of the building.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports one of the three beat the maintenance man while he was being held. The maintenance man then pulled a gun and shot the two teens.
Flynn says the maintenance man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 21-year-old man was arrested.
all together now: gotta love a happy ending!
Never bring a baseball bat to a gunfight.
guess they picked the wrong guy to mess with
Baseball bat is attempted murder, period.

2 out of 3 ain’t bad...
I love a story with a happy ending. I wish I could have seen the expression on the face of those “teens” when they say the gun. Their last words were probably “oh sheet, he gots a gun.”
The only picture that accompanies the story is a generic picture of a cop-car lightbar. That's the tip-off.
The surviving perp was arrested, so there's gotta be a mug shot.

Good. Two less pieces of trash littering the landscape.
Now, had they had rocks and he was a border patrol agent he would have been required to run away. Now the MAIB(mares against illegal bats) just have another story to add to their collection about bat violence. And where is gabby and mark kelley-giffords to speak out about this? Not to mention the new nominee for surgeon private that’s “skuured” of cartoons?
Two out of three ain’t bad.
The combined IQ of these three must equal that of three grains of sand that they would bring a bat to a gun fight.
Well it looks like the tax payers will only have to support one moron and not three. A small victory for the tax payers, so it can not be all bad.
Wow, good shooting man. All punkass POS robbers should die.
The grammar, pure Ebonics, is also a dead giveaway. Looks like the Knockout Game backfired and two of the practitioners just got sent to Hell for a permanent visit with St. Trayvon of the Skittles (SBUH).
There will be no surprises when the mug of the third perp is released.
That is a terrible area of town.
Sounds like it may have been some sort of knockout game gone right. One of the “victims” was videotaping the beating.
I did roving maintenance in the black Milwaukee slums, for a while, I wouldn’t risk carrying a gun at the time (old laws), but I did keep one hidden in my tool box.
In general it was nerve wracking to have a truck full of tools down on the street and be walking those stairs with tools and leaving tools inside apartments as you went to get more.
Being observed or approached by various interested parties and small groups, at almost every stage.
It is not nice to corner maintenance men in stairwells.
