Milwaukee Bucks cancel Game 7 watch party in Deer District following Friday night's shootings

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have canceled a watch party for Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics after 21 people were injured in three separate shootings near an entertainment district in downtown Milwaukee following the Bucks' Game 6 loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals on Friday night.

A spokesman for Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said in a text that the team decided to cancel the event "after consultation with the city and public safety agencies.''

The watch party in the Deer District likely would have drawn well over 10,000 people.
