re: Welcome to the shooting gallery (BR)

Looks like the shooting was at the circle K. I sometimes stop there to get gas or an energy drink on my way to work.

The man that was shot has since succumbed to his injuries.

Damn.

It's trending in that direction.

I lived in that area for 11 years. The gas station where the shooting took place was the one my wife and I always used. In the latter part of my time living in the area hearing gunshots at night was not a terribly uncommon occurrence (mostly from Siegen Ln and generally about one episode a week)

The neighborhood behind the gas station, Jefferson Terrance (and other newer neighborhoods) are fine. But, like most things in BR where zoning is a four letter word, the apartments surrounding the neighborhoods are getting worse and worse. Eventually people in the nice neighborhoods in the area will become tired of living ghetto-adjacent and move. Once that occurs the collapse will be inevitable. It won't happen over night, but shootings/crime on Siegen coupled with (now) a shooting at a gas station most folks in the area use will hasten that process.
