Could this be the shooting in town that finally gets people to react?

This may be it. This may, possibly, be the event that gets the mayor, Mrs. Mayor, the City Council, City Hall and the community and church leaders to finally, finally wake up and react to shootings, "drive-bys", murders and killings in the area. Breaking news today: Man Killed At KC Bus Stop-- Area Packed With Lunch Crowd, Convention Goers A man was killed at a Kansas City bus stop early Thursday afternoon, police said. The shooting happened at 12:28 p.m. The bus stop is at 12th Street and Brooklyn Avenue. Police department spokeswoman Stacey Graves said the man died at the scene. Police tell KMBC's Micheal Mahoney that the man was in his 30s. Mahoney reported the shooting has all the hallmarks of a targeted killing at one of Kansas City's best known corners. A Gates BBQ restaurant and a popular soul food restaurant are at the intersection, which was packed with lunch goers. Among those in the area at the time of the shooting were convention goers from a national Baptist convention in Kansas City. Marlayne Henderson was inside her hair salon when she heard the gun's roar. "It sounded like the Fourth of July. That's what it sounded like," she said. "It was so heavy we could feel the vibrations and we were inside the shop! And that's about 100 yards away." Police said someone in a gray or silver car fired the shots at the man. The initial investigation indicates that at least 11 shots were fired in an area no bigger than a closet. Maybe, just maybe people will do something now. If this doesn't do it, I don't know what will. But then I thought they would have before now. Especially and specifically Mr. and Mrs. Mayor and the City Council.
