Multiples victims were reported in a Wisconsin cemetery shooting Thursday afternoon, according to police.

The violence took place at the funeral of Da’Shontay L. King, a man shot and killed by police last month, a family member told the Racine County Eye. At least five people were injured, the family told TMJ4.

At 3:50 p.m. local time, police in Racine, which is roughly 25 miles south of Milwaukee, asked citizens to avoid the area of Graceland Cemetery due to a “critical incident.”
