Crime in the City
Monday evening, Joshua Walker was shot where I get on the MAX at Burnside and 162nd. This is just the latest in a series of violent crimes happening near there prompting the local constabulary to schedule a press conference. I hope they come up with a good solution because the number of incidents lately has been shocking:
- On Tuesday, a man was beaten by a group of teens.
- Man shot in the face August 23.
- Man shot dead on January 20.
I have seen stories of other incidents on the nightly news, but I wasn’t able to find all the stories online. The Gresham Outlook’s story includes comments from many local residents.
Update 9/13: dieselboi over at MetBlogs weighs in
