Sad to hear about the shooting. Could it have been SW Adams blocked off? (Rather than Baker)

Yep, SW Adams closed at 1st Street

Yes, it was southbound Adams blocked off at Second Street. I was there and should have known which street I was driving on, but called it by the wrong name. I fixed it in the story. Thanks!

Why was Adams closed off for a shooting on Baker as the story still says?
Jean
If only this shooting had been closer to the police station....

Wonder why it took so long for MAC PD to update us?

According to YCN Facebook postings, I would guess he was shot on Baker but managed to get to Adams where someone called for an ambulance. Or since he knew the person who shot him, maybe it was a fight that started on Baker and moved to Adams. I don't understand why the shooter has not been identified if they know who it was.

Thank God for the 2A. Becoming increasingly important as Mac continues it's free fall from what was once a great little town. You leave the gang graffiti up and you send a strong message that no one is in charge. No one cares. Anything goes. Time for the Mayor to step up and show some leadership. Our previous one was a hobby mayor. I'm still holding out hope that Remi can get the job done.

There are a number of houses that have Baker Street addresses but are essentially flag lots, actually situated closer to Adams.

3am is a good time to be indoors.
