There has been more gunfire in Amherst. This time a drive-by shooting (several rounds, I hear) on Callodine Road. A television news story reports the police as having said they '...have no idea...' who did it. I'd bet that police enthusiasm for swiftly solving this crime is rather low. After all, this is a perfect set-up to claim that they need more employees. The fact that it happened in Eggertsville only makes it that much easier to sandbag it's solving. Callodine is not far from the Allenhurst and Princeton apartment complexes that we've heard about many times in the past. You know, the primary crime magnet in Amherst that the police like to sugar coat and claim that it's not really too bad.

I think the Amherst police are in for a battle that they are ill prepared to address. Sure, they obviously don't care about losing Eggertsville, but when it moves further into Town, these 'Hollywood" officers are gonna have some explaining to do.
