Acting Staff Sgt. Cory Der said the mid-afternoon shooting at Connaught Park was a 'brazen act of public violence' that left a man with life-altering injuries.

In the span of less than four hours on Wednesday evening, police say three crashes — each of them involving several vehicles — are attributed to impaired drivers.

Exactly three years ago on May 29th, a low-speed police chase ensued in pursuit of stolen vehicle with three occupants.

Police say there have been five shootings in less than a week, with the most recent happening on Sunday morning in an industrial area.
