I believe the injury was to the leg of a 29 y/o male. Sounds like it went through one leg and lodged in the other.

I think the mayor needs to stop worrying about landlords and start focusing on why there is so much crime in Salisbury. There have been 5 murders and multiple shootings this year already and we still have several months to go. Focus on building a community that involves all of the citizen, not just the rich people from your circle. We need programs in place so that the generations coming can live without fear. This violence and lack of regard for human life has got to stop. Regardless of color, class, or background we are all human beings and deserve to live in peace and without fear.

This is the second shooting near Salisbury Middle since the school year started. My son is a new student at that school, this is very alarming!

You should consider St. Francis de Sales or Salisbury Christian School. Vote Republican today. Governor Ehrlich believes in School Vouchers!

Richmond Avenue is outside the city limits. Mayor can't do anything about that.

Disagree that rentals and the crime picture aren't linked or this is about "the rich people" in my "circle."

Get a grip. Honest poor people have to live in crummy conditions full of criminals. Better off people have to live with the criminals coming after them. The vast majority of these thugs aren't stand-up, law-abiding homeowners. Meanwhile, landlords make money and live where it's safe and cozy.

The only "rich people" getting cared about in any "circle" are the landlords.

I'm not rich and none of my friends are.

Dear 3:52,
not in the city , however if it were , shanie, smith and comegy are the reason crime is bad in the city, not the mayor.

You always see the groups of thugs in white tshirts/tank tops. It has to be a gang thing. Oh wait, I forgot we have no gangs and no gang problems.

Stop hating on the renters. I have been a law abiding, tax paying renter in Salisbury for 11 years. Would love to be able to afford a house, but as a single parent I can not afford it with the prices in Salisbury - unless I want to live in a less than desirable neighborhood. Instead I rent. I have rented for 11 years while raising 3 teens who all graduated, with honors, from our public schools and have gone on to college. Not all renters are criminals!!! If you continue to hate on all renters maybe we (the tax paying, law abiding ones) should go somewhere we are wanted and free up our rental units for the less desirables to move into?

A lot of landlords have houses you would not want your dog living in. That is the problem. License them all and make inspections a mandatory thing.

I feel your pain, I am a single father and these people helped my by my first home in the city and I can tell you my mortgage payment is less than my rent would be. They have low interest loans and they will help you. It might even be a good idea to give them a separate plug on your site.

Joe please allow this link as they are a good organization and they help renters become homeowners.

Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services (SNHS) is a private non-profit organization. SNHS was incorporated in 1994 with the vision of increasing homeownership in under-served and distressed communities.

amen to that 657, as a single mom stuck in rentals I am doing everything possible to avoid living in the less desirable parts of Delmar De, I wish I could afford a nice house to own, but cant, and my daughter too has been on the honor roll for many years. I too am not a criminal, just a single mother who hasnt had a child support check in almost five years and doing the best I can as a renter. I even have video survellience for protections!

if you have been paying rent is Salisbury for 11 years, you can afford a house, i know for a fact, rent is higher than a mortgage, at least one from 3yr and back. maybe there are other reasons you cannot get a mortgage???

and not all people especially "democrats", blue collar can afford private school, can afford private school... then what? cant wait for this!!!

Dear 4:26 - I hate to burst your bubble, but school vouchers have nothing to do with where the bullets fly. The shootings do not occur within the public schools, and moving students to private schools, charter schools and the like does nothing to address the crime element. In fact, the public schools to an amazing job being proactive in this regard.
