Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, July 8, 2022, Milwaukee police from district station 2 and the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) Bomb Squad responded to a 911 call of a suspicious package left abandoned at a sidewalk across from a Southside Mexican restaurant at around 3:16p.m. in the 800 block of S. 5th St. near W. National Ave. in Milwaukee. The package was left behind across from the popular Botanas Mexican Restaurant.

According to police, a MPD Bomb Squad officer placed a water shotgun shell explosive by the abandoned package and detonated the shell. The officer says an x-ray showed wires and several tubular items, but after it was detonated, it turned out not to be an explosive device.
