At the top of the news we told you about all those shots fired in Mayflower Street in the gun salute for slain gang member Kendis Flowers. That happened during the Flowers funeral at around 3:00 pm. And, by very strange coincidence - right around that time a bullet came down out of the sky and went right through a piece of zinc roofing at the KHMH emergency room.
A release from the hospital says, quote, "a bullet penetrated the roof of the KHMHA building at our Accident and Emergency Department… and while no one was injured, the outcome could have been gravely different." End quote. From our understanding, the bullet came from above the hospital.
The release adds, "We remind the general public of adherence to the law as it relates to discharging firearms in public….As a health institution we directly see the horrific damage that bullets cause to persons and we condemn all forms of gun violence which are destroying lives and causing an unnecessary strain on the limited resources of our health system."
The hospital has made a police report. As the bird - or the bullet - flies, the KHMH is about a half a mile from Vernon Street where the gun salute was heard.
As we showed you, the GSU went in after that. As a point of clarification to our earlier story - it was the GSU alone that went in, not the GSU and the BDF.
