Get Your Ass Inside
Further proof that sitting on a porch in St. Louis just doesn’t pay.
All hell broke loose on a back porch in St. Louis Tuesday night, with three wounded men running for their lives.
Police say it all began about 9:20 p.m., when the three were seated on the porch, in the 3000 block of North Euclid Avenue, in the city’s Kingsway East neighborhood.
Suddenly, two young men popped out of the south gangway and opened fire.
Although the shots hit home, the three victims managed to flee.
One, 43 years old, ran into the house and collapsed in the kitchen with two wounds in his abdomen and two more in his upper left leg.
The second, 33, ran through the house and onto the front porch, despite a wound to his left ankle.
The third, 35, ran through the back yard and into a neighboring house. He had a gunshot wound in his right calf and also suffered a broken left ankle.
All three were taken to hospitals and were reported in stable condition,.
So far, nobody has been arrestd. (sic)
I particularly love the reporters use of “All hell broke loose” at the beginning of the story, as well as the men “popping out” of the “gang”way (ha!) and the shots “hitting home.” I think I would like a little more melo with my drama, thanks.
And then this guy ”The second, 33, ran through the house and onto the front porch…” Oh my freaking God does he have A) no sense or B) total brass balls? Shot on the back porch, ostensibly the less dangerous porch attached to any St. Louis home, and he runs to the front porch? Wow. Now that takes some cojones my friends. That or a lack of brain. One of those.
In other news, looks like St. Louis might be set to become only the 2nd most dangerous city in America. Whoo! Let the party start now! Just, you know, not on the porch.
