Bienvenido a la News Review

The News Review rarely includes breaking news.  But today we have included this information based on the Greenbelt Police’s official statement on the shootings in Schrom Hills Park in the hope that those who perpetrated it can be brought to justice quickly.  Some hundreds of students had gathered at the park (after originally gathering in Bowie) to celebrate ‘Senior Skip Day’.  Just before 3 p.m. today (4/19), shots were heard and police (already nearby because of the crowd) moved quickly to restore order, try to apprehend the shooter and care for the injured.  Five students were transported to hospital where one is in critical condition and four are listed as stable as of this evening (~6:30 p.m. 4/19).  Greenbelt Police believe the shooter was able to escape with the crowd fleeing the area and has not been apprehended.  The gun has also not been found.  Chief Bowers of the GPD says this is an active investigation into the attempted homicide of five young men and is appealing to the public and especially the young people there to come forward with any information. To assist, please call 301-474-7200.
