I drove my granddaughter home Tuesday night from our house. And as I returned home, I was forced to detour because the street was blocked by a police car with flashing lights. I circled the block to get home, parked and walked down the street to see what had happened.
A reporter from a local news station told me there had been a shooting. A "black male, late teens to early 20’s" had been found dead on the sidewalk by Rockhurst University security. I could see the covered body on the other side of the crime tape. I was asked if I had heard anything by the officer blocking the street.
