I live in the heart of the city. Walking home from a party after the fireworks, I witnessed a fight between a lady and several other people. She had her son with her[[probably about 4 or 5). She was clearly intoxicated. Started to get physical and cause a scene. The poor boy was clueless with no where to turn. I couldn't take anymore, so flagged down an approaching police car. There was about 8 people trying to stop the car...to no dismay. They drove right past. That is when shots were fired. I ran. I never get involved in altercations, but the young boy m
made me feel a need to. I ran and called 911. Took 3 tries to get through. I left after 10 minutes, still unsure if anyone came...but all I know is the young boy was left alone in the street while shots were fired. Until a stranger tried to pull him away. I have NEVER felt unsafe downtown until tonight
