[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a drive-by shooting in Silver Spring last night, not all that far from Sligo Middle School.  In front of an apartment complex.  I think it's this sort of thing that gets people up in arms and not how it will affect the composition of the student body. [/quote]

Post a link where the police indicated that it was a drive by???? Everything I have read just says shooting -- you just can't make it a drive-by just to fit your agenda.[/quote]

The gazette newspaper for montgomery county has the headline: "police investigating drive by shooting in silver spring."  Should be pretty easy to find.  Not sure whose agenda it advances.  I really used to like this area of silver spring, but just a week ago a neighbor was assaulted getting into her car and it seems like the crime has escalated.  Part of this May be the area's proximity to a couple of major highways.   Or maybe people are just getting wacky because it's summer?[/quote]

This was not near sligo middle school. Closer to ssims.

Actually it's really close to flower ave and highland view elementary -on Bradford road

Great.  It probably bears mentioning that highland view is a success story in terms of attracting middle class families. If I lived in the area I would gladly send my kids. And I think some families are attracted to the area for that very reason.   I doubt this event changes that attitude of loving the school, but hopefully more aggressive steps can be taken to prevent some of the crime that seems to be increasing in the area.  Traditionally it's just been dumb stealing stuff out of cars, but a drive by shooting?  That's insane and hopefully this will give the police an excuse to devote more resources to crime prevention.
