They run up to the homes kicking or throwing rocks/bricks and then run away and then come by and do it all over again. It’s escalated now to them throwing rocks at anyone who confronts them. (more…)

Last night just after 9pm readers reported hearing up to 30+ gun shots fired:
“several different types of gun shots heard near Parkview Rec Ctr, anyone else hear ’em?”
A frustrated resident writes this morning:
“There was a shootout on the 600 block of Otis Place NW in Park View yesterday evening. Our neighbors heard what sounded like a semiautomatic weapon going off, moving up the street toward Bruce Monroe Elementary and the Rec Center. Police showed up and closed off Otis and Park Place to traffic while they searched for bullet casings. It’s a miracle no one was hurt.
It’s the second shooting outside the elementary school in the span of a couple of months. The last one in October took place in the middle of the day.
I feel insane because it feels like nobody wants to acknowledge that a major shooting incident happened here. (more…)
