Parts of St. Louis are not much better. And it seems to be spreading south. Check out this incident in a So. Illinois college town, early Easter morning. Poor dude was sleeping in bed, gets killed by a stray bullet from a fracas next door, when a "house" party got out of hand.

One report says 200 people were at the party. (In THAT little house?)
