PHOTO: An early-morning fire damaged two homes in Milwaukee's Uptown neighborhood on the northwest side. It's unclear whether the fire, reported at around 4 a.m. Tuesday at 50th and Wright, is related to the recent spate of violence in the adjacent Sherman Park neighborhood. An official with the fire department said flames were shooting from a vacant home when they arrived. The fire and smoke also caused damage to a neighboring home. No injuries were reported as of 7 a.m. Authorities continue to investigate a cause.
