Bullets Flying over Wedgwood and Bellview AGAIN!



Residents that live in Bellview have recorded bullets flying through their neighborhoods.  We had several reports of shooting coming from an old borrow pit late last year.  We all thought that issue was addressed after numerous media outlets covered the story.

This week, however, a family that lives in Wedgwood has once again reported that shooting is occurring and once again bullets are flying through their yard.

"I'm afraid to let my children play in the yard--there are so many bullets flying through this yard" stated Natasha Roemer.  "I have called the police, they come out, and they say there is nothing they can do.   This time, I took some videos as proof.  It is getting out of control and someone is going to get shot" Mrs. Roemer told me.

After watching the videos Mrs. Roemer provided, It is hard to believe nothing can be done.  According to her, one of her neighbors had a bullet go through two walls and lodge right in the wall above the toilet.  "If someone would have been on that toilet when that bullet came through--that person would have been dead!"

It is my understanding that the Sheriff's office is now initiating an investigation into this past weekend's  shooting.
