Gunman Opens Fire at Madison Community Radio Station WORT-FM

HeadlineAug 07, 2018

In Wisconsin, a masked gunman opened fire on a Madison community radio station early Sunday morning, injuring one person. A station DJ who was shot in the buttocks was taken to the hospital and later discharged. WORT-FM resumed normal programming Sunday morning, just hours after the attack on their studio. No arrests have been made. WORT-FM is a member-controlled community radio station broadcasting to South Central Wisconsin that has been on the air since 1975. The Madison police say they do not believe the attack was motivated by hatred of the media.
