What A Morning!
I was waking up and checking out the local news, when I heard the reporter at some situation mention my address. She was right outside the apartment building somewhere reporting on a murder. I threw on a hat and coat and went outside to see what was going on. I expected to stroll out to the parking lot and observe the news people doing their thing. I was met with the shocking sight you see here. A couple of investigators stepped out of the apartment next door and we conversed briefly (me: when did this happen? he: about midnight, you hear anything? etc). Mike had to be escorted out by a Policewoman.
.
I didn't hear anything... I was awake and watching TV at the time. I guess it was a pretty quiet knife-fight. Apparently it was three against three, and they managed to get blood all over the place and down the walkways. One guy's dead, and another in critical condition.
.
A few months ago someone else was fatally stabbed down on the first floor, not far from us. It was a couple of cousins who had gotten liquored-up at Hooters, then who knows what happened, but one of them ended up with a knife through his chest.
.
Ironically, we were pretty pleased with these neighbors... they were quiet anyway. Just goes to show you.

A "quiet" six-person knife fight??

They really know how to raise courteous thugs out your way, I guess. Courteous thugs: Reason #8,000,006 I fled the American Southwest 25 years ago.
