The mayor of Milwaukee also imposed an 11:00 p.m. curfew for parts of the city.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday night, the Celtics defeated the Bucks in Milwaukee to force game seven. During that game, the Bucks held a watch party for roughly 11,000 fans in what\u2019s known as the Deer District, an outside area located near the stadium in downtown Milwaukee. However, shootings broke out that dispersed the crowd after the game. To help local authorities, the Bucks announced that the game seven watch party has been canceled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to allow law enforcement to devote needed resources to the continued investigation of last night\u2019s events, we have decided to cancel tomorrow\u2019s planned watch party on the plaza. Deer District businesses will remain open as usual,\u201d the Bucks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nba\/news\/milwaukee-bucks-cancel-watch-party-at-deer-district-following-shootings-near-arena-after-game-6\/\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cWe continue to work with Milwaukee Police Department and other public safety partners to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our fans. We plan to have further details soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the shootings left three injured, just outside the team\u2019s stadium, Fiserv Forum. There were two other shootings on nearby streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice have 11 suspects in custody, and all victims are expected to survive.
