Following a shooting that injured seven people at Harry Todd Park in Lakewood last week, the Lakewood Police Department will be adding more patrols, as they do every summer, city spokesperson Brynn Grimley said Monday.
No one has been arrested in connection with the May 28 shooting, which broke out after a dispute between two groups escalated into violence, as previously reported by The News Tribune. Police said Thursday afternoon that a 38-year-old man was in critical condition and two people were in serious condition — a 19-year-old man and 38-year-old woman, according to a news release. Four people were in stable condition: a man, 18, two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl.
Grimley said the Lakewood Police Department might take a look at its current patrol plan but in the meantime will continue staffing as it does every summer — “Which is to try to have at least two officers together patrolling our parks, as they are available, on days that we anticipate high usage.”…
