A festive day for Muslims turned into chaos as a gunfight broke out during a gathering in the Parkside neighborhood. Five individuals have been charged with reckless endangerment and firearms violations.
the gunfightThe pairs of shoes flung aside, the prayer mats left behind, the baby strollers abandoned in panic — all had been cleared out.“The park is clean, yes, but it’s not about the park being clean,” said Mecca Robinson, who runs a youth services non-profit. “It’s about solutions.”
Two people were shot in the cross fire — a 22-year-old man shot in the stomach and a 15-year-old boy struck in the hand — while another 15-year-old teen was shot by a responding officer after confronting her with a gun. As investigators continued to review evidence Thursday, including officers’ body-worn camera footage and surveillance video from local businesses, they were working to determine whether any of the people in custody had taken part in the crime.
“You can’t say, ‘Don’t come, we don’t know you,” she said. “But your beef needs to be handled another way. We need conflict resolutions in the schools to help these kids manage their trauma.”
