The Deer District was buzzing all night long and well into the night after the Milwaukee Bucks captured the win and the NBA Finals. But this one incident undoubtedly shook many to their core as some were still able to capture video of the gun shots ringing out.
Thankfully, the three that did appear to be injured as a result, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
As for the championship, it was the first since 1971 for Milwaukee and it came in a year when many thought one of the super teams like the Brooklyn Nets would claim the title. Milwaukee didn't let that happen. It was the Bucks who took out the Nets and others like the Heat and Hawks along the way to claiming the championship.
