As is usual, there has been no violence related to tomorrow's elections, but the city and its residents do not survive on elections alone so it was that this morning two men were shot in separate unrelated incidents. The first shooting occurred on Amara Avenue as a man identified as 43 year old Michael White was attempting to break into the warehouses of Extra-House. The owner, Jack Charles, promptly arrived on the scene and caught the intruder in the act and fired two shots, hitting White in the rear end and left leg. He was admitted to the hospital in stable condition.
Shortly after the first incident at around 11:30, another man, 18 year old Eldon Rowland, was shot in another unrelated incident. Rowland was sitting inside a yard on Glynn Street - behind Extra House, when a friend of his entered the yard running. Shortly there after, a group of men followed and one of them pulled out a gun and shot Rowland. Rowland's brother, who did not wish to be identified, gave us an off-camera interview. Rowland received a gunshot in the back which exited near the left side of his groin. He is at the KHMH recovering from his injury.
