Please post here if you have more information about the shooting. You may post information anonymously.
Also post if you have ideas on how to reduce violent crime in the neighborhood, especially on this block. Is more lighting needed? Dwight sees somewhat elevated violent crime rates when compared to the city as a whole.

Okay, I know that sounded snarky but come on! It makes it sound like we're happy this stuff is going on in our neighborhood! You wanna help? Help us find some jobs for some of these folks. Help us figure out how to get them over the hurdles that are keeping them from succeeding. Help us give some hope.
