I felt that when this shooter crossed steve off, that he was moving down a list. A long list. He came running towards my vehicle. There was Blood Dripping from her face. Six murders. In four days. This is a Homicide Investigation in overdrive, wasnt it . It was. A incity under siege. Is there was a lot of fear. There was a lot of unrest in the community. People were desperate for a suspect.
