They almost always know each other. But yes, there's lots of guns, drugs, poverty, and domestic violence here.

Kk thanks. Just wanted to make sure that innocent strangers weren't randomly getting murdered while going for an afternoon walk. Makes me feel better.

We don't always know the outcome or the "why" for quite some time due to LE investigation. I've lived here for a long time and I've never seen it like this.
It feels like disagreements that used to be settled with a shouting match or a punch in the nose, now instantly escalate to gunfire, usually one sided.
I'm not optimistic that this will change anytime soon. And Springfield is not alone in stupid shootings, sadly. It's one thing to defend your life, quite another to take a life needlessly. Tragic.

Is he still alive as of this morning?

I'm not sure 😕 I just found an article that didn't have a pay wall. Hopefully he's ok, it sounded pretty bad.

A relative on a different forum said that he was stable but will be unable to walk and talk. He was autistic so things were already a struggle for him.

(Not from Springfield here) so what's up with the murders I hear about in Springfield? Are these typically gang/drug related? Surely these aren't random people getting shot/stabbed most of the time, right?
