He was shot a little more than two blocks from a parochial K-8 school, a blue ribbon Elementary School and a public library frequented by children from both of those schools. At 3:30PM. The victim stumbled into the library - which was full of children at the time - and the staff called 911. We should all care.

We should know the victims name and age - so we can keep him and his buddies far away from the rest of us.

I care. Eagle Rock is not gangland. It's a community.
