Sadly, this is true. In my neck of the woods we're pretty lucky, but when I was in HS I saw a kid get shot in the arm (in the parking lot after school, by his ex g/f after he demaded she return his gold jewelry). The kid showed up to French class the next day with a BANDAID on his arm at the bullet's entrance point. Must have been a little .22 or .38 or something. The g/f? Her aunt (she didn't have a mother or father apprently) put her on a Greyhound bus for parts unknown to avoid the Police.
That turned out kind of funny, actually. The kid who was shot laughed about it... but I also saw kids showing off MAC-10s and things in their trunks after school. Crazy. I was only there (Tampa, FL) for my senior year (1990); Dad was in the Air Force and I went to 3 different high schools. I was as square as you can imagine, but stayed out of trouble by keeping to myself. The "rough" guys never really came after me, thank God.
That year, I also learned to tell who was carrying drugs for sale each day by the color of their pants. Interesting...
