HeyJackass! brings us the crime report from the Windy City. May Wrap-up
Coming off a historically quiet April, our forecast for May assuming the trend continued was “just” 30-35 homicides and 175 shot and wounded. The homicide call was close enough but the wounded count was much lower than expected. It sure would be nice to have the ShotSpotter data to see how many attempts were made, but that’s why it was shut down, to make it impossible to know what’s really going on.
The final tally was 38 killed, and 138 shot and wounded. As bad as that seems, it is a marked improvement from the prior years.
Typically April posts the first all 70° weekend but it looks like we’re going to into June before that happens. With conditions improving, silly decisions will be on the rise.
