Last night was a nightmare with all the noise from the people waiting for the parade. I heard several explosions, which turned out to be a string of M100’s tired together with duct tape and left to explode in the middle of the street.
However, some of the explosion type noises I heard turned out to be someone getting shot, half a block from my house.
I don’t have anymore details, as I was just informed by my neighbor. I’ll hear more about it sooner or later. I don’t know what happened, who was shot or if they survived. I am going to keep that person and their family in my thoughts this weekend. Life is far to precious for people to so callously end another’s life. This really makes me concerned once again, about where we live but also make me sad because every life matters. 🙁
Turned out to be a cop chasing someone with a gun, who had a gun in his own hand, stumbled and fell discharging his weapon, according to the repository. The person was treated and released, the bullet actually went into the pavement and the person was hit with shrapnel. I was shocked to see people all over the parade route, they used to be very clear and would let nobody on the route the night before simply because people cannot act like decent humans before the parade. One year my brother (he was maybe 12 at the time) watched someone get stabbed on the route…that wa the last time we went up to that mayhem.
