Thanks to the SPD

Sat., June 24, 2017

We should all be very proud of our police officers for the professional way they handled the potential drive-by shooting situation recently near the Union Gospel Mission. Their quick action was outstanding and most probably saved countless lives. When taken into custody, the suspect reportedly told arresting officers that he was carrying a gun to “clean up the streets”. Obviously, it was the police who actually “cleaned up the streets” when they arrested him.

Kudos to the SPD!
