CFH Guest Shot at East Race: CFH guest Ron Miller was shot in the arm while sitting at the East Race yesterday.
Ron and one of two teenagers struggled over his bicycle; the 17-year-old pulled a .38 revolver and shot him, wounding him in the wrist.
“It doesn’t make any sense to us why someone would resort to that level of violence over a bicycle,” said South Bend Police Captain Phil Trent.
The teens—the alleged shooter and a 14-year-old--were arrested after a short chase and indentified by a witness. They left their bicycle and Ron’s.
Ron’s injuries were treated at the hospital and he was back at CFH the same night.

The MDC has been denied the right to advertise in state-run media.
Observers are increasingly skeptical that the run-off will be fair.
