As I am Psychic
I was driving to work this morning thinking about the mini heat wave we’re in and it occurred to me that we haven’t had a murder in quite some time. Not that I want more murders, but my brain couldn’t reconcile this anomaly of so many murders during the earlier, colder months of the year and the lack thereof during the summer heat.
Low and behold, a mere 15 minutes later I hear this report on 1470 WMBD:
Peoria Police report the city’s 10th homicide of the year. Police report at approximately 1245 this morning officers responded to numerous calls of shots fired at Taft Homes. Police found a 17 year old male lying in the 200 block of Green Street, suffering from at least one gunshot wound. According to police reports, the victim was unconscious and unresponsive. Police say the victim was immediately transported to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Peoria police detectives are investigating the incident, but officers report no arrests and no suspects at this time. Anyone having information on this homicide are urged to call Peoria Police Department or Crimestoppers at 673-9000.
Somewhere in Pekin, two people by the names of Linda and Richard who have been putting up quite a fight on Knight In Dragonland’s blog are saying “see, I told you so.”
