Police Look For Shooting Suspect

Police looked for a shooter Saturday afternoon on Locust Street.

Police Search For Shooting Suspects

Columbia and West Hempfield Police are currently searching for two suspects involved in a shooting on Blunston Street.  A perimeter was set up around Laurel Hill Cemetery and Columbia High School.  K-9 units have been assigned.  The suspects were described as two Hispanic males, one wearing a red shirt, the other wearing a white or gray tank top, with his hair pulled into a ponytail.

Another parking violation at River Park
This vehicle was parked right at the sign, as if to be defiant, even though other spaces were available.  In this case, all of the other spaces were available (except the ones for vehicles with trailers).

 This road rage incident occurred late this afternoon on the 500 block of Locust Street.  The burgundy Chrysler (at an angle, near the middle of the frame) was blocking traffic, because the driver was taking an inordinate amount of time trying to park.  Seconds before I shot this photo, the black Saturn (now at the front of the line) had suddenly pulled out from the end of the line and raced down the opposite lane to get to the front.  Fortunately, no vehicles turned right from route 462 onto the street, or there would have been a head-on collision.  Another driver (at the end of the line in above photo) tried following the Saturn driver's example but - as can be seen from the photo below - decided against it.  The Saturn driver risked an accident, but didn't gain anything, because she had to stop for a red light anyway.  

What I Saw - Thursday, July 12, 2012 - Campers, Canoes, Sidewalk Sales

"Wet 'n' Wild Campers" from Camp Donegal at Columbia River Park . . .

 Now the fun part - lugging the boats up the steps.

 Ranae leads the way.

 This one's a little lighter.

 Voyage over, the intrepid campers walk through the park to their waiting bus.
