really!.....I am down there all the time. it is one block away from me. I wonder if it would change if that grocery/liquor store closed down? or what if anything that store being there has to do with it? there are always people standing in front of it. I don't know why it is a magnet for violence.

people need healthier options all the way around for their lives.

This area is in District 8 or 5? Which supervisor is responsible and do we have any reason to believe that they know what is going on?

I heard the gunfire (it happened a couple doors down from our apartment) and there were about 9 shots fired. (Reload? There was a pause after 6 shots and then more shots were fired). The 16 year old girl who was shot in the leg lives next door to me and was less than 10 feet from her front door.
When we left to go watch the fireworks around an hour later, they were putting down the markers for evidence and I stopped counting the cones once I reached 20. The police were still there around 10pm, towing two trucks that had been hit with gunfire.

Shootings on this block are never random, they are always targeted and almost no one helps the police with details. After one shootings in front of our building a couple of years ago, the guy who was hit refused to tell us his name or if he knew who shot him as a friend and I were trying to slow the bleeding while we waited for the ambulance we called.

It really is a neverending cycle and I don't think closing that corner store would make a difference. When that store is closed, they hang out on the corner at the fish store across the street.
