[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is just a shame that a shooting occurs in front of school minutes after school is let out?  Do people hold nothing sacred anymore?  I would be more outraged than some of the parents on this thread who send their little ones to LT.[/quote]

This might seem petty, but it wasn't in front of the school -- it was well away from either of the main entrances (on 7th and on G). I picked my daughter up and walked very near where it happened, apparently just a few minutes before it happened, and didn't see or hear anything scary.

I grew up on the Hill in the '70s and lived here through the Murder Capital years. The neighborhood is the safest it's been in my lifetime.

Do I want a shooting happening right outside my daughter's school? Obviously not -- I'd be happiest if there were no shootings -anywhere- in the city, next to schools or otherwise. But if my first priority were insulating my daughter from the potential risks of city life, we wouldn't be living on the Hill.[/quote]
