Tonight after work I swung by the disappointing-neighborhood-grocery-store ($6 hot dogs that expired two weeks ago, for example). The clerk who rang me up asked if I heard the gunshots today.
"Again?"
She thought that was pretty funny.
Apparently a guy was shot on the street around 3pm, and the shooter hid in the grocery store. The checker (a young, 6-month's pregnant woman) saw him run in with a gun. "I almost dug a hole in the floor!"
The cops caught a suspect, for once. None of this made the local news, as usual.
Also today, the East Precinct fired their community outreach officer. Cost-cutting. The other precincts keep theirs. Because, God knows, Queen Anne and Wallingford need more police/citizen interaction than the CD.
