'Shooting' Incidents Continue Along Queensway

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 11:33 PM

Prince George RCMP have stepped up surveillance along Queensway Street where it's believed someone has been using a slingshot to fire at passing motorists and homes and businesses in the area.

Over the span of the last four days, Police have received eight complaints from victims - the majority of whom have had their vehicle windshields smashed out as they were driving along Queensway.

RCMP say in the most disturbing case, a young woman was shot at as she walked near the Gospel Chapel -- the wall of the building was hit at least eight times with either pellets or small ball bearings.

Two of the most recent incidents occurred early this morning. Staff-Sergeant Doug Aird says a residence in the 16-hundred block of nearby Ingledew Street had a window damaged - it faced an alley and Queensway. Aird says the caller reported seeing two to three young people in the alley-way at the time.

Just a little over 10-minutes later, police received a call from a witness who reported seeing adults shooting at businesses along Queensway.

Staff-Sergeant Aird says the vandalism may have been caught on video and police continue to investigate.

I hope they do get the video and air it on the local TV news, hopefully someone will recognize these jerks, and call in a tip.

Put them to work. Make them show up for work, and I mean work. How about having them shovel city sidewalks?

Yes please post the video. Hopefully someone catches these jerks.

Some people just have no idea how their actions can really harm others.

Geuss I won't be going down Queensway for awhile until the police announce they've caught the culprits.

I'm sure the police must have enough evidence to convict if they're releasing the news that they have the punks on video. It might have even been a news release to scare them into stopping, knowing that they're being videotaped (assuming they can even read a newspaper, that is).

Vandalism is a coward's act. Obviously these morons haven't a collective pair amongst them. They should feel lucky that they haven't hit the wrong person and had someone go vigilante on them yet. Yet.
