SO when are they all gonna just kill each other and get it over with? Maybe we should give em shotguns so they can at least hit the people they're shooting at and not innocent bystanders....I mean just a thought..
Gang related or isolated incident?
("A 36-year-old man was treated for non-life-threatening injuries after suffering a gunshot to the arm last night while driving on Grand Avenue, Columbia police Sgt. Barbara Buck said.
Police today continued searching for the shooter, a black male with a hooded sweatshirt, Buck said.")
