These issues, he said, include
placing more police on the streets,
balancing die city’s rapid growth, and
dealing with an overcrowding of pub

well worth it.”
Wrenholt finished with 2,175

in critical condition Tuesday evening
because of a gunshot wound to the groin
he received during an altercation

hair, pushed her to the ground and
kicked her in the back of the head.'

victim, arrived and left with the 15
month-old boy, her daughter’s boyfriend
threatened her with the gun, she said.
T he shooting Monday occurred at
the 20-year-old man’s home because of
and ongoing dispute, she said.
The victim was transported to
BryanLGH Medical Center West, she
said, and police found the alleged shoot
er inside the apartment building.
