I don't know whether I'm watching the news more than I did when I was younger, or is it I surf Nola.com often. But there seems to be a lot more shootings than I remember us having. Think I read there was a shooting in the east yesterday along with one in gentilly. There was a shooting already this morning before 7am in the St. Claude area.
So is it the media making these occurrences known? Is it the summer heat making people irritable? Is it the same amount of shootings?
I know we are up in murders for the year, but there's a nopd supervisor that I spoke to the other day, and I asked if we are getting more violent, he responded saying that's the criminals are becoming better shots. He said the number of shootings are about the same from previous years but the people are actually dying, instead of just being injured.
