Harriet Street has ALWAYS been a violent and difficult area. What a shame!

These terribly vague suspect descriptions are truly frustrating. I hope the victim recovers and can tell the police more details on this. Then, I hope the suspect is caught, tried, convicted, and sent to a cage for decades. Decades. Gun crime must be completely intolerable for this community.

A gun was used in this crime. If it were a bludgeoning, I would be denouncing that. Guns are tools that can be misused, just like baseball bats or golf clubs. You are barking up the wrong tree, cinnabar7071.

Mark would it make you feel better had he used a baseball bat, or a golf club? Your statement would have met my approval had you left off gun to include all voilent crime.

To much shooting going on, changing his shirt, driving another auto and he is GONE. I hope the victim will recover and perhaps tell his story.

Good luck to the victim. If I happen to see anybody resembling the suspect, I'll be sure to turn around immediately and run in the other direction.
