MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker says
nearly all the concrete panels on a parking structure were not installed according to plan.
An independent firm started investigating after a 13-ton facade slab fell off the structure, killing a 15-year-old boy and injuring
two others in Milwaukee June 24.
Walker says only four of the 296 metal rods between the facades and walls were installed according to original plans and the county
has found no authorization for the change.
