And one more story on the weekend’s gun violence. A vehicle carrying several men returning to Monkey River Village on Sunday, after an evening of socializing at a football game in Independence, was assaulted by an unknown gunman as it traveled along the deserted road late at night.  Several occupants of the pickup truck received minor injuries during barrage of bullets.  While no one was gravely wounded, police are yet to make an arrest in the wake of the shooting.
