A 20-year-old man was shot in broad daylight on West Canal and he lived to tell the tale to police. Around noon today Chris Hernandez was standing on West Canal near its intersection with Rocky Road when he was approached by a gunman who opened fire. Just moments before the shooting Hernandez was talking with Barbara Savery, she told us what she saw.
Barbara Savery, Area Resident
"The little boy was talking to me and he said he was going to Chiney to buy and when I got by the lane here I heard the gunshots and I saw him drop. I didn't see who shoot him."
Keith Swift,
So you were talking to him moments before?
Barbara Savery,
"He was talking to me right by the Chiney and I heard the gunshots and I saw the person drop but I couldn't see who because was down in the drain. I couldn't say what went through my mind because it is a little boy who passed and hailed me everyday and talk to me."
Police have made no arrests.
