chapel ridge is not low income housing it is income based housing, there are people there that pay the full amount and there are others that dont. the report never said they lived in chapel ridge, protector you are the only person that made a comment in regards to the story. the other idiots are just taking shots at black people. battery goes by the injury, meaning if it was non life threatening 2nd degree is appropriate, if it was life threatening it would have been 1st degree battery. they need terroristic act to be applied it is very serious

2nd degree battery and unlawful discharge of a weapon? Is no one ever charged with attempted murder anymore?

@ diplodia....guns are cheap on the black market. You could probably get a nice 9mm for just a few grams of crack.

Chapelridge is low income housing. Interesting that poor people - teenagers - can afford a gun.
