The HPD recently made eight arrests and seized eight firearms, prompting the question: how many more to go?
Only one account sounded like a classic case of a kid being an idiot:
Complaint of gunshots discharged, 63 Annawan Street.
On April 26th, at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers responded to a report from citizens of shots fired in the area of 63 Annawan Street. Within seconds, the suspect, a 16 year old Hispanic male juvenile, was apprehended by Hartford Police Officers Dave Marinelli and Rick Sarju in the rear alley of 63 Annawan Street. The gun, recovered by Officer Ryan Rea, was located in a garbage receptacle. The juvenile was charged with reckless endangerment first degree, carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a gun, stealing a firearm, and carrying a dangerous weapon. His bond was set at $750,000.
Now, if we can only do the same with others who endanger lives needlessly–namely, those who insist on talking on cellphones (with or without the headsets) while driving.
