Just wondering if anyone has any more info on this. I didn’t see it happen but came out of the YMCA to all of the commotion and went to see what was going on. Couldn’t see much, but it looked like it was pretty bad. I’ve checked news sites regularly but can’t find any info. Did the person who was hit make it? What happened?
