This past Saturday, we were driving home from the Breakthrough men's shelter where we cook breakfast once a month. And it's not in the best part of town, anyone would admit.
Driving north on Homan avenue, we heard a spatter of LOUD gunshots, obviously less than a block away.
Then an SUV who had just turned off Homan into a side street comes squealing out in reverse, looking panicked.
Then a youngish guy comes racing out of there on foot at top speed, also looking panicked.
I have no idea whether the SUV or the young guy were involved in this shooting; I am guessing they, like us, were just passers-by in the wrong place and in a hurry to get back out. But it was my first time actually being an almost-witness to a shooting. A little adrenaline rush. In case you're curious, we decided not to stop and check things out. Maybe not very good-Samaritan-like, but we had the kids in the back seat, after all.
