shooting near M & 31st Streets
Daniel has the bird’s-eye take on the aftermath of a shooting last night near M & 31st Streets:
It seems that the shooting took place about a block from our house and then the guy rode his bike over to our block and collapsed. The police showed up and quickly got him away in an ambulance. They then proceeded to block off a HUGE area and do a lot of talking. We got to talk to some neighbors, police officers and reporters.

Judy Wright, the boy’s mother and the owner of the gun, was at work when the shooting took place and has been charged with felony child neglect. The 10-year-old and a 2-year-old also in the house were scooped up by social services. [via]
