Alright, so to be clear, we have a scene at 11th and 2516 Jessup. It's going to be an entire block at Jessup, at least the bottom half. Received. Alright, so, is that six that they're off to now? That's a total of six shots now. We have another adult male walking in the tip who was shot in the upper chest, I believe. Received that.

People are blaming our elected officials. It's not them. ITS THE PARENTS. OF THE JUVENILES. The parents are not doing their job. These juveniles out here killing people their parents aren't actively involved in their lives. The Parents are not disciplining them at home. Or showing them guidance. The PARENTS need to be HOLD ACCOUNTABLE and also charged with the same crime as there child. If they are not doing Their job at home. Quit blaming everyone else it starts in the home
