John Pardovich lives right down the street from the shooting. He’s got two kids and he told MidHudsonNews.com he is worried about the neighborhood because “there’s always a crack dealer, there’s always a weed dealer, there’s always somebody over arguing other there, fights are breaking out at least every month.” More on Mid-Hudson News
