    I know for a fact that there were homeless people there living in that area because Dustin told me himself and he said that they were dangerous and some of them carrried weapons and were on hard drugs.

    I was intrested in following up on this shooting because we were in the area. We heard the shots and seen what appeared to me a disbursement of many vehicles leaving the parking lot beside the bridge. We heard shouting and screaming. Our intrest of catching fish had shifted to the shooting.
    I can assure everyone this had nothing to do with the homeless. These were young adults partying under this bridge. leave the homeless out of it.

    There is a very large homeless encampment there and there has been numerous violent acts among themselves. Maybe; maybe not.

    The world is upside down, these days :(

    Im guessing this is another drug deal gone bad at the boat ramp.These drugs are killing people in more ways than one.
