Violence coming to Kansas Citians' porches
By JUSTIN KENDALL
I flipped on the news last night and the top story was a woman shot while sitting on her front porch. I thought my DVR had screwed up. I hit the "live" button. Nothing happened. It was another attack on someone on their front porch, a familiar trend in this killer city.
Last night's was a drive-by shooting at 54th and Highland. The woman wasn't seriously injured. She was lucky. Others haven't been so fortunate.
Lahoma Benton stepped onto her cousin's porch at 27th and Monroe Friday night to smoke a cigarette. Two men shot the 59-year-old in a seemingly random act of violence.
On August 27, two men gunned down 18-year-old Jeremy Meredith and a 24-year-old pregnant woman on a neighbor's porch at Ninth and Indiana. The woman was four months into her pregnancy.
