2 arrested in shooting at town of Madison park, police say | Crime

Two men were arrested Sunday after allegedly shooting at others in a town of Madison park, with nobody believed to have been hit by bullets in the incident.

Children and adults scattered from the park and the park's playground to nearby apartment buildings when the gunfire started at about 2 p.m. in South Dale Park, 112 Deer Valley Road, town of Madison police said.

"Some of the victims and suspects were familiar with each other and had negative interactions, which is what led to shots being fired," said police sergeant Jess Fischer.

The two men arrested, Maurice Leggions, 27, and Markell Leggions, 24, were tentatively charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

"Arriving officers observed multiple individuals running into a nearby apartment complex," Fischer said. "Contact was made with those subjects, who said someone had shot at them while they were at the park."

Officers found shell casings in the park.

The identity of the alleged shooters was established by police, who made the arrests several hours later.

Janene Russeau of Madison & Company, who's handling the South Madison Way and East Phillips Avenue house — it was originally priced at $639,000, but is currently going for $599,000 — feels that "it's turning a little bit more into a buyer's market, as opposed to a seller's market."
