I know some of us might have heard what we thought were gunshots, and some of those probably were gunshots, but I think we just made it thru this holiday weekend without anyone being shot.

....this is so much nicer than it was in the past.

Seemed like a very chill weekend. Nice to finally see stats like that for a change.

The rain and cold weather on Friday and Saturday may have helped keep the violence down.

...but yes, this has been a nice start to summer.

One of the most violent areas of the pct, this area:

,

has not had a shooting incident since February 26, 2013.

As of today, 5/28/2013, that is 91 days.

It has been over a year since we went that long without a shooting!

I don't have a map that depicts shootings in 2012, but they continued the decline that took place between 2010 and 2011.

2013 is looking good....

This is good news indeed! Maybe we can have a violence free summer?

I'm doing my part I have not shot one (1) solitary person!

Every bit helps!

Needless to say, we have had some shootings, stabbings and general mayhem, but it does seem to be on the decline.

I hope to go the whole summer without spotting a handgun in some teen's waistband.
