MILWAUKEE (AP) — Police say a Milwaukee man is dead and three are injured after three separate shooting incidents.

Officers were called to one scene just after 2 a.m. Sunday. They found a 19-year-old man shot several times. He died at the scene.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/oAOLqMhttp://bit.ly/oAOLqM ) police are also investigating two other incidents in which three men were injured.

Police say a 33-year-old was inside a tavern around 1 a.m. Sunday when a bullet through the wall, striking him in the neck. He was taken to a hospital. About 30 minutes later, a 27-year-old showed up at another hospital with a wound to the back. Police say it appears that two individuals were firing guns, possibly at one another, when the two victims were struck.

In another incident, a 22-year-old Milwaukee man walked into a police station about 9:30 p.m. Saturday with a wound to his right leg. The victim claimed to not know much about how he got shot.
