I walked past that park about 5 minutes before the shooting. It was full of kids. 😤. I heard the shots when I got to Lawrence.
It was 2 shots, a pause then about 6 more. I unfortunately live right by and they've got red tape up all over now. Shell casings on the sidewalk
Don’t understand why there is so much crime in that area, it’s so close to the lakefront/beach. How has it not been gentrified yet
