Parker Field (2014)
“I am awakened by a call from Peggy, who tells me that someone from the police department called sometime before nine and gave her an update.
“They said the shots came from your building. They’re going to have something about it on the news, the guy said.”
I’m thinking it’s a good thing they didn’t come by Peggy’s to tell her in person. You probably could smell the dope five feet outside the front door.
“Did they say what floor?”
“I think they said the ninth. Oh, Willie. Who’d want to shoot Les?...”
To my knowledge, no one in the Prestwould is packing. I tell her I’ll check into it.
I go to the newspaper’s website. Sure enough, the police must have sent over a press release in the last hour or so. “Police closing in on shooter,” is the headline put on it by the kid in charge of giving away free news.
The gist of it: “Richmond Police Chief L. D. Jones said, that, based on forensic evidence gained over the last few days, it has been determined that the assailant fired one shot from a rifle from a window on the ninth floor of a dwelling at 612 West Franklin Street.”MoreLess
