What is happening in our community? Shooting, robberies and house fires are occurring almost on a daily basis and in all parts of town. There was additional house fires and another two shootings over the weekend.
This was a surprising study I found today. Modern news media including 24 hour news channels, internet news sites, etc cover the mass shootings and gun murders so extensively that we feel like gun violence is soaring out of control. In reality, gun homicide is down 49% since it peaked in the mid 1990's.
Everyone is familiar with the story now. Twelve people were killed and 58 wounded early Friday morning when a gunman walked into a sold out midnight showing of the latest Batman film in Aurora and opened fire. Some Good news to come out of the tragedy from Warner Bros, the producer of the movie.
