I-TEAM: Driver faces lesser charge after killing pedestrian

A gunshot can be heard from a mile away under the right conditions. An ear piercing 160+ decibels for certain handguns. That’s louder than a jackhammer or ambulance with its sirens on at full blast. It’s even louder than a jet engine during take-off or any concert you’ve been to. That’s the sound heard near the intersection of Teutonia Avenue and Ruby Avenue on the morning of Sept. 7. Milwaukee Police’s ShotSpotter, a technology developed to identify the sound of gunshots, heard a sound akin to gunfire that morning. But no trigger was pulled. The sound was Jackie Roark being hit by a driver as she crossed the street at 5:46 a.m. She was pronounced dead 17 minutes later, 118 feet from where she was hit.
