Shooting on Barton Ave.
From the RPD noteworthy incident report:
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (SHOOTING), 9/6/10, 9:04 p.m., 3000 block of Barton Avenue. A male reported he was shot by an unknown suspect. The victim’s injury is not life threatening.
This happened a dozen a couple or so blocks down from last week’s tripple shooing on Montrose Ave.
I’ve been trying to catalogue the area’s shootings this year. To help with this I’ve started tagging posts with a shooting tag. It would be interesting to start tracking shooting data much like we track murder data.
Update
A 25-year-old man told police he was leaving a convenience store at 9:04 p.m. when he heard tires squealing and gunshots, so he hurriedly jumped in his friend’s car, at which point he realized he had been shot.





This isn’t a dozen blocks away. Only 6 blocks away.
I take some comfort in knowing these kids are typically shooting at folks they know. I take no comfort in realizing not one of them knows how to handle a gun or shoot with precision. Not excited about random crazy bullets flying from folks who think they’re living in a video game.
