At least two unreported shootings since last Thursday show Plainfield's gang warfare continues -- even if victimless for the moment.
Thursday evening I am told there was gunfire at Prescott Place and West 3rd Street, with two males being shot at though not hit. Shell casings were found at the scene.
Last evening -- Monday -- three males were shot at in the vicinity of Clinton and Myrtle Avenues. None of the intended victims was hit, but again shell casings were found at the scene.
The second shooting occurred in a neighborhood that was at the center of an uproar over the proposed gunshot-spotting technology which the Administration has had to table in light of the city's current fiscal situation.
Police regard both areas as gang territories as evidenced by gang activity.

It was suggested in the past that the police use their resources to properly train these would be assassins. If this had been done you would be writing about 5 less problems instead of just shoots fired!
And the problems is ?
