Really
Ginger Kennedy
This is really closer to Pinson city limits if you look at the city maps but of course everything gets classified Center Point. thanks for the great report The Trussville Tribune for falsely reporting where things happen and hiding all the bad things that happen in your area.

Thank u they love to call out Black neighborhoods.They have crime also, that are not publicize to make their neighborhoods seem safe Bull Sh@t
Deborah Coleman
Shit b happening in trussvegas to..
Matt Coleman
No we call out all neighborhoods! All neighborhoods matter
Philip Sharpe
They call out crime wherever it happens. Just so happens there is significantly more crime in “black neighborhoods”. It’s not racist, it’s factual.
Matt Coleman
Amen
Shane Swann
Wtf is a grand wizard? Dungeons and dragons has a Wizard I think? Or it could be a lord of the rings reference.
Shane Swann
Shocking!!!! Pinson or center point. Whatever you call it. That area is beyond repair. Its a War zone. Let Darwinism run its course.
Chuck Browning
They have reported crimes in our city plenty, problem is it’s usually people from CP which happens to be where I grew up
Michelle McCurry
DeLane McCurry…this maybe the rest of the story!
Chuck Browning
I grew up in CP and never thought twice about riding a bike from one end to the other, but now I would. Sad very sad
Chuck Browning
Sadly clay is next then I wonder how Trussville will figure in. By then I’ll be out in the country since my kids our out of school
Michelle McCurry
A gun was stolen today from Birmingham Pistol same day …hmmm
Jennifer Bentley Willis
I grew up in CP as well and went to HT. If it is in the city limits of CP, it happened in CP. I hate to see the area in bad shape too because it was a great place to grow up but unfortunately crime happens there a lot. TT is reporting what is going on in the surrounding area. I hate to see every article turned into something it’s not.
Matt Phillips
Yes they have crimes in their neighborhoods and it is usually perpetrated by blacks from Centerpoint
Jarrod Hill
So glad I moved away from that area. Center point really has become a ghetto wasteland. So sad
Amy Dutton-Sewell
This is why I’m glad we live outside Pinson city limits. We’re more in Kimberly. I don’t even go to work through CP anymore
Kevin Small
In other news, the Center Point mayor is looking at other stop signs to enforce no rolling stops at for public safety, of course . Mayor Tom tells public, “Y’all need to just settle down”.
Pinson, Clay Trussville, keep in mind as CP leadership continues to ignore their dumpster fire, it affects us all. We need to stand with the people of Centerpoint and demand better leadership for this area.
Rebecca Leanne Lumpkin
I know the boy that was shot, prayers are needed.
Dan Caudle
This is not Center Point , looks like Birmingham.
Tim Glass
Roland Da Flow Hill you can say what you want, but da Purnt is da hood..at one time Huffman and Center Point was the place to live…now it’s the place to get robbed or shot..wont be long til Pinson and Trussville follow suit
Kem Sims
Praying the young man recovers.
Casey Tickle Galvan
The one who was shot is not ghetto….
Tim Glass
I realize that..
Casey Tickle Galvan
I wasn’t sure if you were referring to him or both so I was just wanting to clarify. He was actually a young man who has been through some rough spots but he has been on the right path for some time now…just stuck in a bad neighborhood.
Diane Perry
I think we need a whole police force for just Center Point. So sad.
Kevin Small
Makes you wonder where all the scamera money is going.
Rebecca Leanne Lumpkin
It doesn’t matter where the he’ll it happened, a man that is only 22 years old was shot in the face and your more concerned about the damn location
Rebecca Leanne Lumpkin
Ashley Parker Windsor
Georgia Harvey
Was this at those valleybrook apartments
Philip Sharpe
It sure as hell DOES matters “where” it happened. I don’t want me or my family to be the one shot it the face.
Roland Da Flow Hill
Do you have the statistical data to prove your facts? or Are you just talking shit to prove a point.
The Trussville Tribune
Ginger Kennedy, thank you for your input. We did look at the city maps, and while the shooting location is close to both Center Point and Pinson city limits, it’s closer to Center Point. Also, the suspect was apprehended in Center Point. We don’t “falsely report” anything, nor do we “hide” anything.
