Coordinates: 47.xxx, -122.xxx

There have been 4 shootings within a 3-mile radius of this point in the past year, 1 fatal and 3 non-fatal. The closest shooting was 2.05 miles away.

edit: I'm in a quiet and safe place. I'm surprised with that statistic.

It was 17.25 miles away, which is amazing because this place is a haven for right wing, red neck, neo-fasciast Nazis. Everyone carries at least one gun inside their pick-up truck. And one of them is usually stored along side the mast that extends from the cab's roof. You know, the mast that flies the 'merican flag.

the shown number was that applied. The map was pretty useless for me.

I'd like to know the number but the map would need to be more easily accessible for specific areas of Los Angeles.

4 fatal in a one mile area. Why this might seem high for Tulsa, an overall look at the map tells me most shootings in Tulsa are to the S and E. I moved here, from there. We used to hear gunfire several times a week. We have heard it once since we have been here.
