Seattle Has a Pimp War. A Baby Almost Died. And Nobody's Doing Anything?
A pimp war is raging on Aurora Avenue in North Seattle. At least five drive-by shootings have occurred in the last month. Thirteen shell casings at a school bus stop. Two bullets through the wall above a five-week-old's bassinet. Fully automatic gunfire on residential streets.

Charlie Harger has been talking to these neighbors for over a year. This is his commentary on what's happening and who owns it.
