The victim was in a car with several other people, driving in the 2700 block of Ford Avenue when shots were fired, according to investigators. The car kept going until the victim complained his head hurt, and they realized he had been shot, and called police from the 1900 block of Raven Street.
You’re not safe anywhere any more.
Not long ago someone complained that they were being called out about shooting their guns on their own property. Thing is bullets “TRAVEL” and so you can’t guarantee that someone won’t get hurt. Unless you want to be responsible for an injury or property damage, best thing to do is NOT use a weapon until it is needed.
Any time frame?
I think that is this:
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (SHOOTING)
3/20/12 11:14 p.m.
1900 block of Raven Street
A male reported he was shot by an unknown person. His injuries are not life-threatening.
On that day at that time I heard three faint shots as I was falling asleep. Sounded like it came from the distance/direction of Martin Luther King Middle. I am surprised I could hear gunshots from that far aware in a urban environment with all of the buildings, traffic and it was even raining at that point.
