On this day in 1939, Nazi Germany mounts a false flag attack on the Gleiwitz radio station, creating an excuse to attack Poland the following day, thus starting World War II in Europe.
One reads this Saturday morning from a press release and professional reporting that there was a fatal shooting in the city shortly before midnight on Friday. From that reporting, Whitewater Police: 21-year-old woman dies from ‘multiple gunshot wounds’:
A 21-year-old woman has died after sustaining “multiple gunshot wounds,” according to information released Saturday by Whitewater Police Chief Dan Meyer.
Meyer, within the release, stated that police responded Friday, just before midnight, to an apartment in the 100 block of W. Whitewater Street after receiving a report of an individual who had suffered gunshot wounds.
Upon arrival, police found a woman deceased in the apartment.
Also present, the release read, was a 23-year-old male who was known to the deceased woman.
An investigation has led police to believe that prior to the shooting, an altercation occurred between the male and female, according to the release.
The male has been detained and the investigation remains ongoing, the release noted.
“We are confident that there is no threat to the community at this time,” the release reported.
The department was right to publish quickly a succinct release to inform the city and prevent rumor.
This fatal shooting is a fathomless loss for which one offers condolences to the family and friends of the deceased woman.
