That’s incredibly troubling. A 17-year-old being shot so late in the night is always a shock, especially in a place where you’d hope to feel safe. It’s so unsettling that young lives are often caught up in violence like this, and it’s even harder to hear about it when it feels like there’s no real justice or clarity yet.

I hope the young person who was injured gets the care and recovery they need, and that the police are able to find the person responsible. It’s good that the community has options to report tips anonymously, but it’s still such a tragedy when things like this keep happening.
