Someone was home. And the neighbors on this narrow working-class street were in bed. They've been terrorizing neighborhoods for months under the name Gangsters With Drama. Cops are still looking to fill in the blanks of what other crimes the gang committed. At the shot-up houses, most of the physical damage has been repaired.
Life is supposed to be returning to normal.
And I'm not sure it ever will. Those bullets did more than break windows. They shattered the sense of safety on Werk Road in Westwood, Schoedinger Avenue in South Fairmount and Penfield Lane in Delhi Township. Uneasy pause On Werk, the neighbors act as if they're more worried about their heavily traveled street being widened. To them, the house with the white siding and the bullet hole through the front-room window is yesterday's news.
