posted (April 16, 2012)
And last night the violence in the city continued. An 18 year old was shot to the midsection in the Port Loyola Area.

Just after 8:00 pm, Christopher Jorgenson was at the Jane Usher Basketball court on Curl Thompson Street - which is just across from his house.

Police press officer Fitzroy Yearwood tells us what happened next:

Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"We know that on the 14th, Jorgenson and some other guys were on the basketball court on Kurl Thompson Street; this is in the Jane Usher Boulevard area when two men rode up, one facilitated the other with a firearm and he fired several shots injuring Jorgenson on that court."

"Jorgenson was transported to the KHMH and we are yet to record a proper statement from Jorgenson."

Jorgenson remains hospitalized.

His family declined comment today.
