The struggle in Chester

Not a good week in the city of Chester.

And it didn’t stop last night. Police were called to Seventh and Tilghman for a reported shooting.

That came about 24 hours after two people were found shot to death in the city. Their bodies were found in an alley near Sixth and Woodrow streets. Police indicated the two had been shot execution-style.

These three incidents capped a week when police were already investigating two other fatal shootings.

Chester has come a long way in its struggle to turn itself around. Clearly it still has a ways to go.
