QUESTION OF THE DAY: Has gun violence changed the way you see Columbia?
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
It was a violent weekend in Columbia.
Very violent.
A flurry of shots like a firefight broke out Saturday night during a party at Cosmo Park, leaving one person with critical injuries. Another person suffered serious injuries.
Two men were injured, and two minors, both male, were arrested early Sunday in a Downtown Columbia shooting. Another person was shot in the leg Friday night in south Columbia but had only minor injuries.
That wasn't the area's only gun violence, as a shooting also happened Sunday in Callaway County that left one person dead and another with critical injuries.
But it's Columbia where gun violence makes frequent headlines and where residents have regularly expressed their dissatisfaction with violent crime levels. Are these just a city's growing pains, or is Columbia's nature radically changing?
