SOUTH BEND Dozens of people were gathered at Coquillard Park early Wednesday evening when as many 30 shots rang out.
What’s wrong with this picture?
The correct answer is everything.
But I would have also not accepted the sight of crime scene tape wrapped around playground equipment, or that the memorial to a toddler killed near this same park seven years ago falls within another crime scene from yet another shooting, or that the two victims from Wednesday’s shooting were a part of or near a group of adults and children who came to the park to enjoy the first 80 degree day of the year.

SOUTH BEND â Police are investigating the shooting of two men late Wednesday afternoon in the area near Coquillard Park in South Bend.
Dispatchers sent police on reports of multiple shots fired about 5:45 p.m. at the 1200 block of Campeau Street.
South Bend Police Capt. Joseph Leszczynski said police arrived to find one male victim on a porch near the park. A second victim was found on Main Street on the way to Memorial Hospital.
Leszczynski said both victims were being treated for non-life threatening injuries and both were expected to survive.
Several people were gathered in the park for a cookout in the pavilion, but Leszczynski said it was early in the investigation and the facts of the shooting were unclear.

Bradbury filed for post-conviction relief alleging his counsel was ineffective, but was denied. The appeal of the post-conviction relief was reversed by the appeals court.
The court overturned the decision on two factors. That Bradbury’s attorney stipulated that Robert Griffin was convicted of murder in this case and the defense didn’t request the jury to be instruction on a lesser included offense - reckless homicide.
