The pilot of the small plane that went down in a backyard in Wauwatosa is fighting for his life. Police say the plane crashed into a yard on the city’s north side yesterday afternoon.

Investigators are not guessing at what caused the plane to go down.

The anger with Kiel Schools over their misgendering investigation of three eighth grade boys has now canceled the city’s Memorial Day Parade. Police made that announcement yesterday.
