Shot Fired, Man Down At Corner Dean
posted (May 21, 2014)

There was a shooting in the city just twenty minutes ago.  First off, our footage is just back from the scene, so if you are sensitive to graphic images you might want to change the channel.

It happened on at the corner of Dean Street and East Canal, which is just down the street from our Channel 7 studio.  7News got there just minutes after while the man who was riding a bicycle was writhing on the pavement.  According to reports he is an elderly man who was carrying bags.  A robber or robbers wanted to rob him of those bags, and they shot him in the process.  After they took the bags and he fell to the ground they searched him for money – as he lay sprawled on the street. 

Police rushed him to the hospital ten minutes after the shooting – he was still conscious.  We'll have more on this in tomorrow's newscast.
