Five at a Time

We don't know if it's true or not, but the number of multiple woundings seems to be largish this year:

• Five people were shot and wounded, including a teenage girl, in the city's Lawndale neighborhood Tuesday night, police said.

  The shooting occurred in the 3900 block of West 19th Street about 10 p.m., police said.

  Although early reports stated that the victims may have been injured in a drive-by shooting, the victims told police that they were attacked by two men or boys who ran west on 19th Street from Harding Avenue, shooting at people on both sides of the street...

If the city would just pave over parts of Lawndale and Englewood, build stadiums and parking lots, crime would go down and the Olympics could be held here every four years.
