Six-year-old Zamzam Mohamed was waiting for her school bus with her sister early Wednesday in the vestibule of their Minneapolis apartment building when she saw a man she had never seen before fumbling with a handgun.
Next came a boom and then screams, followed by searing pain in her lower leg.
The handgun had slipped from the man's waistband and discharged, grazing Zamzam's leg as several children looked on.
"He went through his pants; it was like he was trying to shoot it or something," said Zamzam's sister, Hafsa Mohamed, 11. "Then it went off and she started crying and there was a hole in her skirt. She was bleeding a little. He picked up the gun and ran."
Zamzam was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where she was treated and released.

I was just kidding, lol. It’s sad to see our cities turn into dumps with our tax dollars. And speaking of which, the property taxes in St. Paul are hiking way up. Add gas tax, higher license tabs, etc. How much more do you think the taxpayer can take?
Huh?
You know, like, it takes one bullet to hurt a community. (it's the Tribune)
Tim sez he’ll veto new taxes. The lefties are pushing new taxes to lure voters in your neighborhood (St Paul)not to mention Keith Ellison’s (DFL, muslim) distict 5.
Yipes.
“Huh?”
You get it....
From the article:
“A surveillance camera caught the incident and allowed police a good look at him, said spokesman Sgt. Jesse Garcia.”
Great. Thanks for the description. Everyone be on the lookout for a guy with a waistband.
Also, I hope the little one gets better soon.
