“A little after eleven [p.m.], police responded to, yet again, the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where they saw Edward Anthony Nunez, twenty-eight-years-old, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds to his left upper thigh and to his right upper thigh, inner thigh.  Initial investigation revealed that on Friday, he was inside his yard also, somewhere on Pelican Street Extension with his family socializing, when a lone person unknown to him came from the direction of Iguana Street Extension and fired several shots in his direction causing his injury.  The assailant then made good his escape.”
