Victim Of City Shooting Refuses Police
posted (August 17, 2012)
There was a shooting in the city last night - but the victim doesn't want to cooperate with police.

It happened at 9:20 when 25 year old Austin Rowland was on Flamboyant Street when he was shot in the left leg. Police say that five expended shells and one live round were recovered from the scene.

But when they got to the hospital Rowland - who is no stranger to police - refused to give a statement. He also declined an interview with us.

Police have the name of a suspect - who is also no stranger to them.

At almost exactly the same time as that shooting in the Lake Independence area, there was another in the Port Loyola Area. This time police found 7 expended shells on Gill street - but no one was hurt. 25 year old security guard Steven Lambey was riding his bicycle on Gill Street when two men who were riding towards him opened fire.

Lambey also refused to make an official report.
