Yikes! I thought that was more fireworks! ?

Nope. The last two games there have been a few shots fired instead of fireworks. The best one can hope for is the drunken fools are shooting into the ground instead of in the air. Or maybe accidentally making the choice of their own leg if that turns out to be the case.

Lucky me, I learned last night that my next-door neighbors are the proud owners of what sounded like a .40 cal. Certainly hope the shot wasn't "up", but I don't think that was the case. Lovely.

What other news outlets print that the JW doesn't......
Police in Lawrence are investigating after an early morning shooting leaves one man with a serious gunshot wound. The call was dispatched just before 3:25 a.m. in the 1300 block of Michigan Way. One caller to 911 reported a subject in the road with a single gunshot wound. Officers arrived on scene a short time later and confirmed that a man had sustained a critical gunshot wound to the left leg.
After officers had secured the scene, LDCFM entered to treat the patient and reported the "early 20's" male's injuries to be serious. The man was transported to LMH.
Officers continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and have not released any further information as of this report. There has not been any information released on a possible suspect.
Around 5 a.m., the male victim was transported from LMH to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.

Smitty, this happened at 3:30 a.m., and we had a story up by 3:45. There was no way this could get in today's paper, which goes to print around 2 a.m.

Alex, the story was cut and pasted by me from a news source other than the JW or Fritzell because when I read the on-line story it was obvious that many of the details were left out. Many times posters on the forum have posted a link to Topeka or KC for Lawrence information on a story that ...well...just is simply incomplete.
As far as the hard copy, your remarks fit that but certainly not for the on-line edition...
Not sure how the total cut and paste jumped to this explanation but thanks.

Sorry but I think "subject in the road with a single gunshot wound. Officers arrived on scene a short time later and confirmed that a man had sustained a critical gunshot wound to the left leg" is a fair amount of additional information.

I am not obsessed with crime. I appreciate the extra detail. More than that, it makes me wonder once again why LJW does not print all of the available information.

There was another shooting there less then two months ago. They just winged a car the first time.
