Turns out the headline was a pure lie.
It was an accident.
I live about 12 blocks from where this happened. The area has 3 section 8 housing complexes, and the rest of it is residential, bordered by warehouse type businesses.
The residents in the houses are majority black and Hispanic. The section 8 apartments are more mixed, and one apartment complex is geared for those with chronic mental health issues.
I was surprised the victim was white as Blanks, and Webster area is houses, mostly minority residents.
Last week someone shot a 7 year old through the head in this same area of town that was traditionally called “the settlement”.
