Yeah, I live on this side of town. College Community locked down, but just went off it a few minutes ago. I'm betting hotel parking lot cameras caught it all and they know what vehicles were involved.

When I moved here in 2004, there was very little major crime. Ever since the flood, every couple months there's some sort of shots fired story coming from the area.

I talked to a gal recently who worked at that Kum & Go on Kirkwood Blvd just off the interstate in the early 2010's. She stated "I quit when I got robbed for the 3rd time in 3 months" while working the overnight shift.

My bet is chances are this will tie back into some dispute involving kids living in all those apartments that are now around the area.
