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.

citizennachosSep 4 at 9:28 PM

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
