Was this after a performance at the shell?
or just coincidentally near the place?
Just near the park
It’s a typically quiet area, however this park has had other shootings.
sourcing Woodglen Road
this street name isn't in the police report
Happens all the time
All of you who have chased a person after you saw that they were carrying a gun, please raise your hands.
