MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee officials have imposed a curfew and added extra police patrols after 21 people were hurt in three shootings near a downtown area where thousands gathered for Friday night’s NBA playoff game.

The shootings happened a few blocks from the arena where the Bucks lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. All of the victims are expected to survive.
