The exact same shooting happened on Arsenal in Clifton Heights neighborhood Saturday night . If you want to see drug activity in plain sight near our area keep in eye on the parking lot if Frances Slay Park any time of the day .
Which part of Arsenal? Near Ivanhoe, Tamm, or Watson Rd?
Looks like 6200 block of Arsenal & it happened Monday morning around 3 am . Very similar circumstances to the Maplewood shootings & about 1.5 miles apart .
Not at all what I want to hear about my community. I know not everyone in Maplewood is a nice person and even if they are they may have some knuckleheads for friends or former friends. I really hate to hear this kind of stuff going on.
Where is the next shooting going to be?
Not sure how this happens 2 nights in a row. Why was MPD not in the area last night? I see a patrol car out there today but geez 2 drive by shootings at the same apartment in 2 days is ridiculous.
someone really wanted to get whoever they were shooting at or are not very smart to return to the scene of the crime the next night. At least that is my thought on it.
One thing that we have to remember is there are only so many officers on duty at a time. So if we have an officer sitting there on duty every evening that means some place else is without an officer on duty or we are paying extra for the officers to be there. And how long do you keep an officer there? 3 days, 3 weeks?
