Man, this is so disturbing. Five Points is usually such a chill spot. Scary to think about how much violence is going on.
Carol Robinson quality article “Police said the incident happened in the Five Points South area. Initial reports indicate club patrons were waiting in line outside Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue, when a drive-by shooting took ***places***.”

I just sent a text.
“Are you okay ?”
“Yes, we’re good inside. Someone got stupid outside.”

I live here and there’s rarely gun violence. Late at night it’s usually very quiet after the bars close.
I was in my kitchen, which has a window looking out over the intersection of five points and heard what had to be 100 shots.
They were so fast I couldn’t even count them. Sounded like an automatic weapon or multiple shooters
Now every street around 5 points is blocked off and there’s dozens of cops and a few news crews around
