Boy shot in arm in drive-by shooting in South BendTribune Staff ReportSOUTH BEND — A 15-year-old boy was shot in the arm Wednesday afternoon in a drive-by shooting. Police were notified of the shooting after the boy was taken to the Memorial Hospital emergency room just before 2 p.m. At the hospital, police were told the shooting happened at the intersection of Vassar Avenue and Elmer Street, near the intersection of Olive Street and Lincoln Way West. At the scene police found shell casings, which were collected into evidence.

Its getting worse and worse and it seems as if NOTHING is getting done about it. Has the mayor even commented on all the violence in the past week?? No, hes too busy worrying about what streets in the hood we need to pave next. I feel for the people that put him in for another 4 years! I didnt.

I'll grant you it has gotten worse, but these types of things have been happening in and around the area for at least the past 20 years. I think there is more reporting from the news nowadays.
