“Dear PoPville,
Saw “neighbor reports shoot-out on the 100 block of Bryant Street” on the Bloomingdale blog– from Nextdoor yesterday. Of particular concern is “Police told neighbors that crime scene investigators don’t show up to a crime scene unless there’s a victim,” though a neighbor found a shell casing.
Nothing like being gaslighted (gaslit?) by MPD.”
Ed. Note: The nextdoor report says that there was 5 shots fired from two cars (at each other) around 1:18pm. “Would it really require someone being shot to investigate?”
