And in the weekend's other act of senseless violence, on Friday night at 10:00, 26-year-old Clifford Anderson was shot to the abdomen on the Pen Road basketball court. Police spoke to us about it on Saturday:..
ACP Chester Williams- O. C. Eastern South
"Police were called to the basketball court on Pen Road Extension and upon arrival they met one Clifford Anderson who was suffering from a single gunshot wound to the hip abdomen area. He was transported to the hospital and he was admitted in a critical condition. The doctors were saying that he had bled internally and that is a difficult issue, hence the reason he had to go into surgery immediately last night. He went through surgery last night and is currently listed in a critical condition at the hospital."
Jules Vasquez
"You all know what motivated it?"
ACP Chester Williams- O. C. Eastern South
"Apparently there was some incident that might have taken place sometime yesterday or the day before and that was what triggered what took place last night and it goes back to what I've always been saying that many of the shootings we are having of recent are not a as a result of old beef, but rather things that just happens and it just develop so quickly and resulted into death."
Anderson is critical. Police detained one person for questioning.
