Acting chief Peter Newsham says he doesnt bel was untinded target and we ask him about residence calls for more Police Patrols in south east. I dont think the shooting that occurred the other day was because of a lack of patrols. So to the extent that folks are asking for more patrols obviously well step up patrols because of this incident.
