Springfield police busy with shootings, robberies, stabbing and more
The Republican ^

Police were busy from Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, investigating multiple gun calls, shootings, robberies and at least one stabbing.

...

The most serious incident involved a man who was shot on Orchard Street in the Brightwood section of the North End around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday. That was followed about 40 minutes later by a shooting near the intersection of Johnson and Ranney streets in Forest Park, where shell casings were recovered but no victims were found.

Police also responded to a 9:11 p.m. ShotSpotter activation indicating four rounds of gunfire in the vicinity of 39 Wendell Place in the South End, and a 12:27 a.m. Thursday ShotSpotter alert for a possible single round on Leete Street in the lower Forest Park neighborhood. An officer said the latter incident turned out to be fireworks, basing his determination on information received from a witness.

Hmmm. MA has strict gun control laws and Springfield is a "RED" town, i.e. anyone who apples for a CCW permit in Springfield and passes the background check is issued a "restricted" permit which make it illegal to carry said gun except in you house or at a range. From house to range it must be unloaded and locked away.

Clearly, more gun control laws are needed. /s

When SHTF, many gun grabbers will seek out gun owners and expect protection.

From the lack of details (no surprise!) in the report, it appears the ‘Amish’ are running amok again.

A violent Norwegian motorcycle gang was reportedly seen in the area, several Halloween costume shops were ransacked, and the public library is missing all its Ebonics and Speedy Gonzalez Dialect tapes.

Putting two and two together, I would have to surmise that the bloody Vikings are at it again, fooling the local cops into blaming the violence on completely innocent members of other ethnic groups, causing great damage to their self-esteem.

As St. Olaf's Day approaches, I would warn the local LEO's to increase their vigilance. They ought to especially look for motorcycles parked outside of Lutheran Church Halls late at night. That's where these rascals meet to stoke up on lutefisk and change into their false ethnic costumes.

Need I point out that many Norwegian Gang Members are illegal aliens? They yump ship in Cancún and then they hone their Hispanic camouflage skills during their crossing over the Mexican Border. Insidious. Hope Barack's Boys are on to this threat to our security!

It will be then that the gun owners will get respect at last.

A friend of mine got robbed at gunpoint near the hall of fame. Springfield needs to issue Smith & Wesson to non criminals.
