More Shootings

2009-05-11T23:53:00.000-07:00

There was an incident earlier this year of a shooting but no fatalities.

Saturday, the day before Mother's Day, is the first fatal shooting reported this year in Altadena and as we all know from past summers, when the weather heats up-so does the crime.

There was another shooting near Lincoln on Harriett.

So brazen, it took place at 11am.

What can we do? Who will help?

The Sheriff has enlisted help but the community needs to step up and share what it knows before we can expect anything to get better.

I am happy to see the San Gabriel Valley Tribune bring attention to these incidents!
