One dead after shooting in Allentown

I always heard that row homes were dangerous but I never knew to what extent.

WHAT????

Very little information. I hope Mcall updates!

Murder is so commonplace in Allentown that it's no longer front page news, just a tiny blurb on the inside pages.

What a shocker. Just another day in the cesspool known as allentown.

What are you talking about? So in other words, unless you have enough money to live in a single home, many of which are only found on the west end of Allentown, you live in a dangerous place?? I have lived in a row home all my life in Allentown and never considered it a "dangerous" place!

they should put a fence around a-town and let all the lowlifes kill each other. sort of like a public service.

Since Allentown is onlygettign worse why are they not looking to the bigger cities for help to educate and try to gain some control. Things are just out of control. What the hell is happening to the LV?

What has happened to the LV is I-78 and the scum from NYC.

I remeber when 78 was being built. People spoke of the problems and no one listend~

Viva la Allentown!
I really wish Billy Joel would update his song to include shootings, crack ladies of the evening, and incompetant city government!

Not really. This is only the 4th or 5th homicide in Allentown so far this year. Not to bad consider we had 21 in all of 2005 and 16 in 2006.

There are still some decent people living in allentown. Too bad you only hear about the bad ones in the paper. Those who follow the law dont make the paper.

There is nothing but trash moving in to that block near chew street. there have been several incidents this past year, stabbings, muggings, murder. too bad, i'm sure the people who have always lived there are nice people, just being held hostige by the criminal element moving in.

Mayor Special Ed Pawlowski lives about 2 blocks from today's murder.

The Murder season in Allentown has just begun.

ummmm well the problem is that our mayor is too be trying to impress people with shiney new buildings than to give two craps about people living in Allentown...honestly I personally never felt threatened living here...I have family up in Bronx and Brooklyn New York so to me this is like "oh wow that's sad"...but in order to do anything the mayor needs to climb down off his soap box and say "hey look we need to clean the city up"...he spent more on remodeling his office than on cleaning up the crime

So since I live in Allentown in center city, and have never been threatened or felt threatened before and I live in a row home judging by what you people write and post....I should just kill myself?

Sounds like a plan !

I live on 13th and Gordon, it was pretty scary last night because they had all of Gordon St. blocked off looking for the person who did the murder!

gang tip line 6105593229, for whatever good it may do.
