This comes on the six-year anniversary of the Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, but that’s just a coincidence. It’s hard to find a date on the calendar that isn’t an anniversary of a mass shooting in America.
Shots were fired west of Union Station near the garage and multiple people were struck. We took two armed people into custody for more investigation.

This is absolutely disgusting. Another day ruined by gun violence. Hopefully, there were no serious injuries and police arrested everyone involved. We’ll update as more information becomes available.
