   It was a normal night in Maycomb, when all of a sudden gunshots were fired around the Radley household. It was found that the shooter was none other than Nathan Radley. It was also said that he was shooting at a negro, but the person was left unnamed. Some suspect that the reason why he shot at the person was because he has a problems with negroes, which has caused commotion in the town. People have their suspicions about who they think might have also been involved in the shooting, but nothing has been confirmed.

 

   Although this a serious issue, the community has been able to move on from this and go back to their normal routines. Police have told the town not to worry as this will be taken care of without a worry. Many believe that this a big issue and needs to be dealt with right away. Although Mr. Radley has had a bad reputation in the town of Maycomb, the police are not concerned with his whereabouts, which is causing his neighborhood to feel concerned about their safety.

 

   Many have said that they have their suspicions about who the might have been shot and a lot of people seem to think that the suspected negro was Jem Finch. After questioning Jem, he stated that he was not involved in the shooting in any way and that he does not know anything about what happened. Investigators are now questioning a number of people asking about what they know about the shooting and if they have any knowledge about who the person was. Until then, the town of Maycomb can go through their normal routines until the investigators find anything.
