Cherrywood Trigger Happies

I live in the Cherrywood hood, and last night around 1 am at the four way stop (Cherrywood and 38.5) a white car took three shots at me while I was on my bike.  I wish I could give a better description but I hauled ass outta there.  Police were called, be on the lookout.

Re: Cherrywood Trigger Happies

That's frightening.  We live near that intersection.  Neighbors heard the shots and I found a spent shell casing at 38.5 & Sycamore the next day.  Called the police, who came quickly.  We're glad you're safe.  Thanks for posting here and for calling the police.
