As hundreds of people were leaving the bars on Water Street early Saturday morning, Worcester Police officers working the Bar Impact detail responded to multiple gunshots fired outside of 129 Water St.

The shooting, which occurred around 1:45 AM, resulted in one victim being shot through his hand. The victim also had received a stab wound to his upper body.

Oh, I see. Take a gun and a knife to a fight. Or maybe it was one of those shoulder goes up thingys with a bayonet attachment type pistol with a bi-pod strut. So, all other violence has ceased to exist in Worcester? Obviously they need to pass more laws making it illegal to shot people with guns and stuff . Almost forgot. Guns and booze and a side of testosterone........not a good mix.

As long as Coney Island Hot Dogs and Vincent’s were not affected. The only two places in Worcester worth going.

Gun violence or inner city gang violence?

Mass has some of the toughest gun laws in the country - so they are blaming states that don’t have a lot of laws... and don’t have a lot of shootings.

Not possible. Worcester Police Chief Gemme revoked all private firearms licenses when he came into office years ago as a “safety measure.”

So, it must have been one of those “ghost” guns from the west coast that committed the crime?

The images in the article seem to implicate white people. What are the chances?

If they don’t say what race they are, you know what race they are.

Worcester's complicated. It's got an established population, various minorities, and Holy Cross and WPI plus other colleges. It has trendy spots very close to abandoned areas.

It's amazing there isn't more violence with that mix out partying on a Saturday night. When I lived in central MA, I never felt comfortable parking at a garage or lot and walking to a destination in Worcester.

Trouble in Wormtown... ? Who’d a thunk it?

WPI?> is that Clark University?

[grania]

WPI is Worcester Polytech. It’s one of the best engineering schools in the US. Clark is a 3rd large university in Worcester.

Gun Violence
Notice how the two are always paired? Think Pavlov's dog.

Ask people you know what is the first thing to pop into their mind when "gun" or "violence" is heard. Odds on, one will always trigger the other. That's how the Left controls the dialogue.
