"one woman suffered a graze wound to the chest and two others were injured by glass when a bullet crashed through the window of a city bus in the bronx on saturday afternoon, police said.
"the bx4 was at westchester avenue and tinton avenue at 3:21 p.m. when a man who was fighting with someone at 756 union avenue fired at another vehicle and missed, striking the bus instead, cops said...."
"the two women were hit by a bullet intended for another car."
[The bullet wasn't intended for a car, but for a person.]
There are no "stray" bullets. The shooter was committing attempted murder.
“'How do they get to these guns? They got more artillery than these cops,” one woman told the post.
“'Oooooh lord thank God it wasn’t me. I feel sorry for the person who got shot. But I’m glad it wasn’t my family or me.'”
“'We are scared,' she added.
“'We are scared in the nighttime, we are scared in the daytime, we are scared all the time.'”

My first thought was "Mary Tyler Moore"(the lady in the now famous photo that I based "Just Another Day" on)was the lady shot,but it appeared to be a black woman--Florida Evans from "Good Times"--which brought to mind,"Maude"--which brought to mind Adrienne Barbeau.I'll bet SHE was a good time.

ReplyDeleteMASSIVE bLACK--UHH--bLOCK PARTY SHOOTING IN BALTIMORE THIS MORNING;2 TAKE NIG NAPS,28 OTHERS "DROWSY" ;NO ARRESTS MADE;MAYOR,GOVERNOR CHIME IN WITH INSIPID COMMENTS
BALTIMORE (AP) — Gunfire erupted at a block party in Baltimore on Sunday — killing two people, wounding 28 and leaving an extensive crime scene that marred the U.S. holiday weekend, police said. Three of the wounded were in critical condition.
Baltimore Police Department Acting Commissioner Richard Worley told reporters there were a total of 30 victims during a press conference at the scene.
The shooting took place just after 12:30 a.m. at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city, Worley said.
The shooting comes amid gatherings around the country leading up to the July Fourth holiday. Elsewhere, a shooting in Kansas left seven people with gunshot wounds and two more victims hospitalized after being trampled as people rushed out of a nightclub early Sunday morning, police there said.
Nine victims were transported by ambulance and 20 victims walked into area hospitals with injuries from the shooting, Worley said.
Meanwhile, dozen victims were sent to be treated at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and four others were sent to the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Pediatric Emergency Department, according to University of Maryland Medical System spokesman Michael Schwartzberg.
An 18-year-old woman was found dead at the scene and a 20-year-old man was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after, police said.
“I want those who are responsible to hear me, and hear me very clearly,” Mayor Brandon Scott said(sounding like Frank Drebin in "Naked Gun")at the scene. “We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you. Until then, I hope that every single breath you take, that you think about the lives that you took, think about the lives that you impacted here tonight.”
(GRA:We will not rest until we find the killer.Now come on,let's go grab some lunch.")
No arrests were made immediately after the shooting. Scott asked anyone with information to come forward to assist investigators locate the “cowards” who were responsible for the shooting.
Gov. Wes Moore said his “heart breaks for these victims, their families, and the Baltimore community that is coping with the loss.”
“Maryland has had enough of watching gun violence continue to ravage our state and our nation,” Moore said in a statement. “The fact that these horrific shootings continue to take place is abominable. We as a state will continue to do everything we can to prevent senseless acts of violence like the one we saw last night.”
(GRA:They HAVEN'T had enough,obviously.)
Authorities said the crime scene was extensive and that it will take some time for detectives to work it.
