I witnessed a wheel theft in progress this morning in Shaw. This was shortly after 5am when I went outside with my dog. Two thieves dressed in black were in the process of stealing wheels from my neighbor’s newer model Honda. I stopped next to them on the sidewalk, (more…)

Update from a reader: “I was about 5 feet from the shooting in Shaw at 2pm yesterday. I had to run away and saw and heard bullets clinking off of metal.

Did anyone take pictures of the tree on our car, or see what organization took care of/cleaned up the tree?” (more…)
