[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I agree that OP's title is a bit over-the-top. Also, this shooting was on Glenmont Circle, a street surrounding the apartments directly behind the police station, and was not at the shopping center.[/quote]

Title says "near Glenmont shopping center."[/quote]

OK, but seems unnecessary to put the shopping center in the thread title when it had no relevance to the story. [/quote]

The context is that it's a frequent meeting spot for numerous conflicts between Kennedy and Wheaton HS students as it's a central meeting point, as was described in the post. It's a known hot spot for criminal and violent activity from MCPS students. The McDonald's, Starbucks and CVS have been complaining and dealing with it for years.[/quote]

Neither the police statement nor the principals' letter referenced the shopping center.[/quote]

Clearly, I was providing community-specific context for those outside of Wheaton-Kennedy HSes so they would understand how a conflict like the shooting in that area fits into the broader pattern of criminal and problematic behavior around the shopping center and the 4th District precinct.

How is this a sticking point for you? I don't get it. [/quote]

Your fixation with the shopping center in your title and post is bizarre as is insisting this was a "shootout" and then pretending it doesn't matter what you call it [/quote]

What is bizarre about this "fixation," as you call it, with the shopping center? [/quote]
