In 2016 273 city residents last year, more than double the previous year, died of fatal opioid overdoses. Heroin is being cut with fentanyl to increase the high but the fentanyl is so powerful it leading to a sharp increase in deaths from overdoses.

The bullet hole is from a shooting that injured three people at about 11:30 a.m. One man suffered a gun shot wound to the leg, another man was hit in his ankle and arm and a third victim sustained a graze wound to his arm. All three victims are expected to survive. The shots were fired from a car at a man who was walking in front of the market. "It's shocking" said Swink whose daughter lives in an apartment above the store. Stray bullets also shattered the store's front glass doors, damaged some wood work and a soda machine.

The heated argument occurred as a balloon release for four victims of a fatal hit-and-run crash was ending. The argument was over "disrespect" and involved multiple people with drawn guns on the street and people in a passing car with guns. Outnumbered and outgunned, police officers at the memorial put out an aid call requesting backup. "I don't give a f*** if the police are here" one of the men shouted. No shots were fired, no one was arrested, and the arguing parties fled as the sirens of many approaching police cars grew louder.

Shakur feels that the United States was founded on white supremacy and that it still impacts his life. The pair talked calmly for more than 5 minutes debating issues of race and violence. The conversation ended politely and they parted with an exchange of smiles. "He's a smart young man. He's educated.
