” the shooting appears to be a targeted incident and no danger to the community” I wish I could believe that but what is the city doing to make sure it doesn’t happen again? Is that apartment back up for rent? Just in case I’m keeping my doors locked and I’m betting whoever said “no danger to the community”, is keeping theirs locked too.
