Detectives have learned that the injured victim had arranged a meeting to sell a Nintendo DS Game System to the four suspects, Peck said.

I wonder if this was another "craigslist robbery"?

Now, some people might see the "U.S. post office" reference above and assume that is what what is meant by "Gunfree Zone". However, given that this occurred in Southern California, where virtually no-one can be a legally Armed Citizen, I guess the whole region is really a "Gunfree Zone".

Yes exactly, good point with that -double- shield of gun-freeness, they should "feel" safe
Reminds me of the Campus Carry Polls,,,, "Would you 'feel' safer ..."

I wonder if the victim thought that being on USPS property would help keep him safe?

Then how could anyone get shot then?
