There was another city shooting this weekend. This one wasn't fatal - but it was unusual because it happened on the northside, in a park not far from the Prime Minister's house.
On Friday night at 10:10p.m., police 24-year-old Jerome Smith was in the Buttonwood Bay Park sitting on top of the bleachers when he was shot by a man who walked from beneath the bleachers to open fire.
