Akron has reverse drive-by shooting
2013-01-26
Akron woman claims she was shot as she drove by two men walking in the street. Police say the men moved to the side of the road, but as the woman drove past one of the men fired several shots at her Nissan Altima.

One of the bullets penetrated the vehicle and struck the victim in the back in her upper right shoulder.

#3  Methinks there was more to it than that.
I drive through that neighborhood several times a week & frequently see young men walking in the street, nearly always in summer. They're not crossing the street, just walking in the traffic lanes, never less than a couple, sometimes 4 or 5. Rarely there is a young woman or two with them. (Singletons I've seen in the street have always been crossing). All seem older than 14-15.
This happened during moderate snowfall, a time when hardly any pedestrians are about.
The neighborhood's not the best, but I didn't know it was that bad. Looks like I'll start bypassing it.

#2  During the summer, she said itÂ’s common to see drivers flash their headlights or beep their horns to disperse people walking in the street. Edwards said sheÂ’s not sure why her flashing her lights angered the men.

Methinks there was more to it than that.
