On January 11 2007, a 30 yr old brother shot and killed his 27 yr old brother for drug money in the barrio La Sienagal (spelling?). This is the barrio just south of my villa in Costa Azul. It has been hard to get used to the gunfire at night over the holiday season, even knowing that most was celebratory shots in the air, so I'm told. We heard the shots around 9 PM and found out that they were fatal from our DR house watchman. According to him, 20 to 25 % of the barrio are using crack cocaine and they range from 12 to late fifties in age. How disturbing is that? Even more disturbing is the police are involved in the trafficking ...... brutal!aranoid:
