Chaos erupted after a search for two missing teens on Milwaukee's north side Tuesday, June 23. A house on 40th and Lloyd was set on fire by protesters as police say they were trying to calm down the crowd. Both teens have since been located safe, and police say there is no evidence the teens were ever at the home. Seven officers and one firefighter were hurt as police say bricks were thrown at them. Those first responders are all expected to be OK. Authorities say three people in the crowd were also shot and are expected to survive. Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales said they were at the home multiple times looking for missing teens. "We need to investigate that, that's what the police is here for, we need to determine what crimes were committed when you don't get the cooperation from the families, from the witnesses to allow us to push forward how can we give a proper investigation the attention it deserves," Chief Morales said.
