Sorry to hear this. Not good, unless I am missing something but with people working the scene, if there was something else, like even a major accident, are there enough to cover two events at the same time?

No they may get by but 3 would not be happening for sure. I counted 4 detectives and at least 5 cars plus this is right before shift change which is happening right now

@EyeintheSky :
Right after I posted it, I remembered it was shift change time too. Not good that resources can be stretched so thin.

I lived a 313 Republic was just starting to get bad up there.

Earlier Thursday, about 8:48 p.m., a ShotSpotter gunfire detection alert summoned officers to the same block. But police found nothing then that would indicate a crime scene. They went back to the area after the resident who found Harper in her yard called 911. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Ingersoll said.That fit with accounts from neighbors who said they heard several "booms" about 8:45 p.m. The police came, they said, but didn't "look hard" and didn't go into the backyards. One woman, who asked not to be named, said she saw four teens run from the area of the vacant house at 405 E. Republic and into an alley across the street. She said she didn't see the shooting.

Makes you wonder what he did to have his life taken. 17 is young.

@tntrecycling with this current generation could have been as stupid as looking crosseyed at someone.

I wouldn't call it stupid.
Many know what's right just are being taught this is what `s important in their lost life.
When owning a gun and shooting at others is what on you list of life something is wrong.

I will bet money if and when they are caught they aren't even of legal age to own gun and it was a stolen and has a LONG rap sheet of other offenses.

@EyeintheSky I say the one that did it should have to work for the family whos son was killed. If he chooses not to Jail and he must show he's working or Jail.
