Police Commissioner Dan Saltzman plans to attend police roll call at Northeast Precinct this afternoon, to talk with police and gang outreach workers about this morning’s shooting at the KC Food Market on North Killingsworth:
Cops arrived on the scene at 10:50 this morning to discover that a 21-year-old shooting victim had already been taken to the hospital by the people he knew. Police say the victim is at an area hospital recovering from multiple gunshot wounds.
It’s been a month since Saltzman launched an aggressive outreach operation after seven shootings in a week.
“It’s a shooting that has the potential for more gang violence,” says Saltzman. “Especially when it appears uncertain if the victim is going to live.”
“I am always saddened when a young person is shot for reasons I can’t identify with at all,” Saltzman continues. “Our goal, right now, is that we don’t let it grow.”
If you have a chance, please ask the good commissioner with what types of youth shootings he does identify.
Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing.
Dang, I used to go there on my way to class @ PCC.
