Community leaders in Anniston have joined Police in appealing for help in tracking down a person responsible for the shooting of a two year old child on Sept. 9th.
Anniston Police Captain Allen George, commander of the
police investigations division, says that Tuesday, September 9 around 8:15
p.m., someone fired four to five shots into a crowd at Norwood Homes housing
community, striking the toddler in the foot.
The child's foot had several broken bones and the child
had to undergo surgery.
George
said they have got a name through anonymous sources.
David Baker of the NAACP chapter in Anniston Ed Moore III
of Justice and Civil Rights Initiative, and city councilor David Reddick, whose
district includes Norwood Homes joined police at a press confrence at norwood
homes wednesday afternoon. Both Police
and civil rights leaders expressed concern that people might not want to come
forward, partly due to fear of relatialation and partly because of a "no
snitching" belief. They stressed that not coming forward could make their
neighborhoods less safe and bring the harm the potential witness might think
they're avoiding.
Anyone with information can contact the Anniston Police
investigative division at 256-240-4000 or Calhoun County Crimestoppers at
256-238-1414.
