Fourth celebrations a blast, and without major incident
With fireworks shooting from every direction, and Fourth of July cookouts taking place throughout Warren County, we can be thankful the holiday weekend has come and gone without a tragedy.
There were a few minor rumblings — the most notable of which was a drive-by shooting that took place at Skyline Apartments. While the news of a drive-by shooting right here in our own community is shocking, there is at least some consolation in the fact the victim was not badly injured.
As for traditional Fourth of July festivities, it’s certainly a positive sign that none of our children and teenagers, who usually have no trouble getting their hands on fireworks, were seriously injured over the weekend. And while there were a few fender benders on Warren County roadways, we were able to avoid any life-threatening injuries on what is traditionally one of the most dangerous holidays of the year.
The Fourth of July has passed exactly as it should — leaving memories and not tragedies behind.
