A fierce fire erupted in a Milwaukee multifamily home on Monday evening, sending flames and smoke billowing from the attic and roof—forcing firefighters to call for a second alarm and evacuate everyone from the building. Despite the intense blaze and extensive damage that left the structure uninhabitable, no one was injured. The Red Cross is now helping displaced tenants find temporary housing, and authorities are investigating the cause while confirming all residents were safely accounted for, including one initially reported missing who was found safe in an alley behind the building.

A chilling Milwaukee massacre unfolds as 36-year-old Thomas Zollicoffer faces three murder and three firearm charges after allegedly gunning down two victims in separate apartments — one over a cheating accusation — with the same weapon, confirmed by ballistics and phone records. A multi-day manhunt ended in a tense standoff at a house, leading to his arrest. His alleged getaway driver, Sengchanh Phengphonsavanh, and cousin Elena Cole — who let him hide with her kids while she was out — are also charged: Phengphonsavanh for harboring a felon, Cole for harboring a felon and child neglect. Zollicoffer is jailed on $1 million bail; Cole’s is just $5,000. All three are back in court next week.

Oracle drops lawsuit against Wisconsin’s utility regulator over new credit rating rules for data centers, a move that clears the way for safeguards designed to protect ratepayers from bankruptcy fallout. The rules, enacted in May, require big data center developers like Oracle to hold an A- credit rating or post hefty collateral—potentially $100M+ annually—for their massive energy needs. Though Oracle’s stock rebounded after filing suit, its credit rating still falls short, forcing it to face financial hurdles at its Port Washington facility—a joint venture with OpenAI and Vantage expected to consume power equivalent to a million homes. With the lawsuit withdrawn, these protections stay intact, praised by consumer advocates as a model for other states. Yet challenges remain: the local utility must restart its transmission line application due to design changes, while utilities nationwide grapple with similar rate structures and collateral demands as data centers reshape the energy grid.

Wisconsin just saved over a thousand acres of pristine forest north of the state, thanks to a $905,000 conservation easement from the Uihlein family trust—funded by federal and state grants. This land, now called the Border Lakes Legacy Forest, will stay intact, open for hiking, hunting, and skiing, while protecting vital watersheds and supporting Wisconsin’s $billions wood industry. At 90, Michael Uihlein honored his parents’ legacy by ensuring this forest—diverse with trees, wetlands, and trails—never falls to development, preserving it for future generations.
