We as neighbors need to figure out what we can do to combat this. I know
we've got the neighborhood watch, but what else can we do? There have to be
more aggressive steps we can take to get the violence out of our
neighborhood. I recently asked police to step up patrols on my street due
to some drug-related activity I've seen just in the last few weeks.

Just now -
Full round of shots fired. Was SO loud, I knew it had to be close.
Seconds later, I saw two dudes jump the fence from 2304/2308 Milburnie
into the yard of 2335 Stevens. Both were young black men, one had
shoulder-length dreadlocks. They turned and ran down Stevens Road, toward
Chatham.
I called 911, and saw another neighbor doing what I assume was the same
thing. Police came within minutes, but the suspects were long gone.
This is too close for me. Shots were fired at this same location, what,
two-three months ago? Just seems like things are getting worse. Not sure
how much longer I want to stay.
