  1. My question is were they from anther vehicle?? looks looks like the holes are on the driver side> It was a semi automatic , no dobt about that sound . But I think there would have been A LOT MORE damage if the cars were side by side

  2. Steve! What’s your problem!? This crap goes on everywhere! It has nothing to do with Selma! Do you read all the headlines or do you just have a beef with Selma? Have you even been to Selma lately? Sounds like you may be a little jealous of how Selma is doing. lol

    • I’ve got a friend that lives in a part of Selma that guns being fired is a frequent thing. I was talking to him one day on the phone while he was inside his apartment and I could hear gunshots in the background. He was quite frightened by how close the shots were to his apartment as evidenced by me being able to hear them. He stated that shots are heard at all hours on a regular basis. I’m not sure if this happens as frequently in neighboring Smithfield or nearby Benson but I do know it happens often in Selma.

  3. I absolutely think it is absurd that a victims name was put in a report when no one has been arrested! The law only protects sexual assault victims but not victims of violent crimes!
