An early morning shooting at a rooftop party in Wisconsin has left at least 10 people injured, including teenagers, according to police reports. The incident occurred at a high-rise apartment in downtown Madison, where nine individuals sustained gunshot wounds, while another person was injured by broken glass during the chaotic event.
All the injured individuals were promptly transported to local hospitals for medical treatment. Fortunately, authorities have confirmed that none of the injuries are considered life-threatening. As of the latest update provided by Madison police on Sunday afternoon, at least one of the victims remains hospitalized.
The age range of the victims spans from 14 to 23 years old, highlighting the diverse group affected by the shooting. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes expressed gratitude that no fatalities resulted from the incident, emphasizing the community's collective sorrow over the violence that transpired.
The police response was initiated around 12:45 a.m. following reports of the shooting at the apartment complex.

As of Sunday, no suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the shooting, leaving authorities to continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the violent episode.
