Son's prank ends with mother shooting him

A 21-year-old man was shot by his mother at about 9 p.m. on Thursday.

Milwaukee police said the victim told investigators he thought it would be amusing to frighten his mother as she returned from shopping.

He put on a ski mask and confronted her behind their residence, pretending to rob her.

The 37-year-old female responded by drawing a .357 revolver from her waistband and firing several shots at the victim, striking him at least twice.

He was conveyed to a local hospital by the Milwaukee Fire Department, and his condition is unknown.

The suspect surrendered to the first responding squad and was in custody according to Milwaukee police. Officers also recovered a blue steel revolver with an obliterated serial number from the suspect.
