Deadly shooting on Fordem

Yesterday morning, two young men were shot in the parking lot outside Camelot, on Fordem Avenue. Today we get the news that one of them has died and police believe a drug deal was involved.

A couple of weeks ago I talked about the importance of making public safety Madison's first priority as it crafts a truly challenging budget for 2012, in the shadow of a shooting on Ruskin. And this is not the first "targeted" shooting on Fordem...we remember last year's gang killing outside Webcrafters.

Two shootings in two weeks. Do we need any more reminders of the importance of giving our police the resources they need?
