Was at the location in Coventry right after the shooting. Its an active scene with a large police presence. Theyre looking for witnesses.
What street in Coventry did the shooting take place on?
People getting crazy
Perfect! Free entertainment!
It happened on Williamsburg Lane. (Court 6)
Williamsburg
I also heard them but I though was by where I live in Whindham Place because this morning I saw someone doing firecrack when I went out with my son to drop the trash. So sad when we moved to this area about 8 years ago we liked because was quite. But now drugs and burglaries.
Was the person shot Jewish?
Really? Someone got shot and the smartest thing you can say is “free entertainment”?!?!
How did they get the license plate, witness or the Covnetry cameras ? Hope they catch the perp.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Not their fault though. Protecting individual citizens is NOT their job anyway, just ask the Supreme Court. I am very glad for the presence of LPD, truly, yet if we all could utilize our G-d given rights of self defense there would be less lawlessness and we could be more proactive as partners with LE.
Doesn’t coventry have a 200 thousand dollar camera system in their complex? Let’s see if they actually have it recorded now as they claim they don
Greeceball is a complete idiot. An idiot without a heart. How would you like to feel a bullet in your leg….? I am sure you wouldn’t call it free entertainment anymore.
Do you know what transpired for this person to do this? I second not. The victim is just as responsible for their actions as the person who did this. When you do wrong to people, it will come back..
noneya, how do you know what the person did?
Many thanks to LCSW for patrolling Coventry Square late at night. You have our backs.
