At 10:15 this morning, a shooting with numerous victims and a homicide happened at the apartment building at 824 Garner Avenue. Detectives are looking into the incident.
Two men, ages 20 and 21, were shot many times in the apartment complex’s driveway by what looks to be automatic gunfire.
A third casualty was a 40-year-old mother who was preparing breakfast for her kids inside one of the adjoining apartments when a stray bullet entered her home.
After being taken to a nearby trauma facility, all three perished from their gunshot wounds, including the 21-year-old. The injuries to the 20-year-old guy and the 40-year-old woman are potentially fatal.
