On Sunday morning at about 12:43, Deputy Sheriffs responded to a report of a shooting near Keats Ct. in Discovery Bay. While Deputies were on the way, another caller stated a man was shot and laying on the street on the 1700 block of Wilde Drive. The victim, Bradley MacHugh, was later pronounced deceased.

This was a senseless crime. To lose one’s life over some problems with speeding in the neighborhood is just so tragic. I hope the DA’s office throws the book at the shooter and his accomplices. The murder victim though made a mistake when he lost his temper and engaged the speeding youths. He should have called the cops, let them handle it.
