Checking in to see if there was any new info about the shooting up in Kent, Washington that was by the Kent Cornucopia Days Festival.

Now the Kent Police are looking into possible gang ties for the shooting.  They had another incident where they found another young man shot in the neck in Renton which they think he was shot while trying to retaliate for the earlier shooting..  Just crazy..  Renton is my old home town..!!!

Here is part of the article:

“There were about 20 people, plus 10 to 15 customers in there when the shooting happened, so it was a pretty busy place at that moment,” Kent police spokesman Paul Peterson said.

About two hours later, at 9:40 p.m., an 18-year-old man stumbled into a convenience store parking lot near the Renton Transit Center and collapsed from a gunshot wound to the neck, Renton police said.

Back on the 20th I wrote about an unrelated shooting spree in Chicago..

Well today they found 3 more dead in a home in a crime plagued neighborhood. On CNN (this article) talks more about it but the police state that these 3 deaths are not connected to other recent shootings, or deaths, or however you want to look at it.

Things seem to be out of control and maybe cause its in the mainstream news now.

Here is a little blurb:
Last week, police found five people found dead in a ransacked home. Those deaths brought the number of people shot to death in Chicago in less than a week to more than a dozen.

The latest deaths come just days after Mayor Richard Daley met with more than two dozen officials from religious groups, police, schools and social service agencies to talk about what’s causing the violence and how to stop it.

Police have stepped up patrols, put SWAT officers and specialized units on the street, and increased their fire power by using combat rifles.

Hopefully they can figure something out cause it’s getting crazy..!!!
