  • Crosswalk gun dispute: Police were called to the intersection of Summit at E Pike Wednesday, April 30th just before midnight to a report that a man in a pick-up truck had threatened two males with a gun as they attempted to cross the street. According to the report on the incident, the street crossers told police they were almost struck by the truck and yelled at the driver as he passed that they were “at a crosswalk.”
