Shooting A Short Distance From Police Substation
posted (May 30, 2013)

Tonight, 26 year-old Jason Joseph, a resident #101 West Street, is recovering from a gunshot wound after an assailant ambushed him at his home.

At around 7:40 last night, he was standing in front of his house when a gunman wearing a black mask ambushed him, fired several shots and ran off. One of those bullets struck him in the left upper arm, and he was rushed to the KHMH for treatment.

The brazenness of the attack must be noted because Joseph's house is just a stone's throw away from the Mesopotamia Police Sub-Station, so the assailant risked quick police response to execute the attack.

It is rumored that the gunshot was retaliation for a fist fight earlier in the day.
