I can almost guarantee that not one person there was carrying a weapon legally. Probably half were underage and the other half were felons.

It wasn't a school event. It was an informal pickup game.

I ran the statistics engine multiple times and was surprised that:
NYC is safer than Houston
LA is only slightly worse than Houston
If I hadn't slept through statistics class I could show how rates of violent crime correlate with populations density and poverty. In other words, when poor people are crammed into neighborhoods, more crime occurs. Most of it is related to drug dealing and other gang activities.

New York is a special case. Mayor Giuliani practically abolished the fourth amendment there, allowing police to search people on a hunch. The hunches are usually right.

This is breaking news. Any reports may be updated.

Worthing High School is near Scott Street and Reed Road in southeast Houston. I have no information about this neighborhood,

As Sarah Palin might say, How those gun-free zones workin' out for ya'?

Oh, yeah, and this is already worldwide news.
