I cannot even tell you how terrible it is to read the insensitive comments here... I’ve been checking the feed all night because we were afraid our neighbor was the one who was shot. Confirmed, he is the retired cop. He was a sweet guy who really looked out for people in the neighborhood, he knew all the store owners and this is likely why they called on him to help. Please think before you post because sometimes people are actually reading the comments to get more information about an incident in their neighborhood, worried that someone they know may have been hurt.
@Homunculous3 my condolences 💐
