WAUSAU - When you hear the word "gang," you may think of big cities like Chicago or Milwaukee. But you may be surprised to learn that gangs exist in your own backyard.
Some gangs in Wausau have been around for the past 15 years. Last week, a middle school boy died when a 15 year old stabbed him twice in the back. Police think the stabbing was gang related.
"The prominent one, the OTB, that this male juvenile claimed to be, that one was a known gang group here in the Wausau area," said Wausau Police Officer Houa Lee. "This other gang involving white, Hispanic, or black males, that was probably a hybrid gang that just formed."
