Is The Crime Rising In Billings?
It's getting really hard to not miss stories of major crime when it comes Billings' news sources.
It was long ago that a suspicious white powder was discovered in a building in downtown. Then there is the murders that are reported, followed by a guy running around on the West End shooting up things.
Then there was yesterday.
I saw a video on Facebook that showed about 7 or 8 police arresting a man at gun point in the Office Depot parking lot. The way it looked, he must have done something seriously wrong.
All I can say is I am glad I wasn't in that parking lot when everything went down. It was intense and I wasn't sure if I was going to see bullets fly.
It seems like little ol' Billings is getting more of a crime scene that you would see in a larger city.
Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever slow down.
What have you seen around town? Do these things make you feel unsafe or are you ready to shoot back?
