Shooting too close to home

A man was shot in the Rolling Acres subdivision on Wednesday, the Journal Star reported.  WEEK’s website reports that the man has died.

I attended Rolling Acres school for Kindergarten through seventh grade (it was a K-8 school back then), and I had many friends who lived throughout the Rolling Acres, Sherwood Forest, and Joanne Manor neighborhoods.  Hearing about a shooting should be shocking to us no matter where it happens, but I’ll be honest, it’s more shocking to me hearing that it happened in the neighborhood where I grew up.  I guess it just hits a little too close to home.

  1. I’m waiting to hear about the 800lb gorilla that’s likely in the room right now. I know what people will say – but the truth is a bitch, if I’m right.
