Soon to be swept under the carpet. Milwaukee and Brown Deer Police have no clue.
Think about it, some crackhead waving a gun around on a Sunday morning. Don't worry, nobody died. Next time I hope they rob the Police Chief and The Mayor while they are out golfing.
Time for Wisconsin to issue CCW permits.

Golfers robbed on the 16th tee
An armed robbery on the golf course at Brynwood Country Club Saturday morning startled a foursome and their caddies, but could not keep the club's golfers from their game.
When the party of six, four golfers and two caddies, reached the 16th tee shortly after 11 a.m. a lone gunman emerged from nearby woods and said, "Give me your money," according to police.
Armed with a handgun and covering his face with a mask, the gunman robbed two of the golfers and one of the caddies before fleeing into the woods at the club, located at 6200 W. Good Hope Road.
Officials at the club said the foursome finished their round of golf following the incident. And no one at the club cancelled tee times either yesterday or today.
The club did send a statement about the robbery to its members saying no one was harmed. The club's management and members are working closely with the Milwaukee Police Department to identify and apprehend the suspect.
"We are disturbed by the situation that has unfolded today, but relieved that no one was injured," read the notice to club members on Saturday. "The incident was an unusual occurrence at our club. Brynwood Country Club has a nearly 80-year history as one of the most prestigious country clubs in the Midwest."
The note went on to say that, "beginning with the first tee time (Sunday), we will have a security detail on the course to discourage anyone to enter the course. As an additional safety measure, we would request that all golfers carry their cell phones on the course and immediately report any suspicious activity to the receptionist."
