WAUKESHA (WITI) — The Carroll University campus was put on lockdown for about two hours on Tuesday, April 16th after a report of an armed male on campus was called into the school.

The Waukesha Police Department and the Carroll Campus Safety Department responded immediately after the report. The school used its PioAlert system — which is designed to provide instant messages to students, staff and faculty at Carroll. The system informed the campus that a man with a gun was spotted near the Kilgour-Trailblazer Tennis Complex on the northwest corner of campus and urged everyone to stay inside. Similar messages were sent by e-mail and posted on the university website.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — Paul McCartney has added Milwaukee’s Miller Park to his list of concert venues in which he’ll perform on his “Out There” tour this summer. McCartney is set to play at Miller Park on Tuesday, July 16th.

“Concerts are a big deal here. It shows our fans and the taxpayers that Miller Park is not just a baseball stadium. Sir Paul will be performing songs that spanned his entire career — that as a solo artist, that as a member of the group Wings and of course, his time with the Beatles. Wright calls the event an opportunity to see one of the people who developed what music has become today,” Jason Wright, Senior V.P. of booking for Live Nation concerts said.

TOWN OF BROOKFIELD (WITI) – It was a somber Saturday in the Town of Brookfield as the police department mourns the loss of one of their own. An officer died while on duty.

A trail of skid marks leads to a light and bush that were plowed over by a squad car. The car which Officer Don Bishop was driving ended up in Kristi Berry’s yard. “He was unconscious right away and I think that’s why he went into the yard. I think he was out somehow,” said Berry.
