Waterside Shootout in Parking Garage

On Sunday morning, Waterside in Norfolk, VA continued to become an area feared by local residents.

After a small car crash inside the garage, police were called to the scene inside a parking garage to find two victims. One of whom was already dead while the other severely injured and taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. The police arrested the three men who were involved in the shooting after trying to leave the garage. The police only charged Reginald E. Royals Jr., 24.

The main concern now is "What is the city of Norfolk going to do about these shootings?" There have been officially two downtown slayings near parking garages in the past three days. Citizens are pushing to get surveillance cameras installed in these garages. Law enforcement officers agree with this actions.

"For two-plus years we've been trying to get the city to put surveillance cameras in the garages," said Officer Murphy of the City of Norfolk. Police officers have been put inside the garages themselves and yet the city has still not spared the money to install cameras.

So how many more people need to die before the cost is acceptable? The answer..too many have already died.
