Milwaukee police search for 2 teens in robberies

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police are looking for two teens they believe robbed one man and shot other.

Police say the boys were armed with a shotgun in both cases. They are about 15 or 16 years old.

Police say the teens held up a 22-year-old man about 5:30 a.m. Friday. They demanded his backpack, rummaged through it and tossed most of its contents on the ground before fleeing.

Police say the same boys demanded money from a 54-year-old man about half an hour later. The man fled and was shot in the back.

Police say the 54-year-old is being treated at a hospital and is expected to live.
