You are spot...I work for a metro ambulance service. You are spot on. I remember running a call two years ago. It was in the urban core. A guy was shot square in the chest and the attacker ran off. The victim was willing to prosecute. Seemed like a totally random crime. Other people who saw it happen said the same thing: guy just walking to the store got blasted and the shooter ran off.<br /><br />I never heard a peep from the news. Of all the shootings I've run in the time I've worked here, I bet less than 25% of them are on the news. Stabbings, even less. I bet one stabbing in 20 makes the news. <br /><br />Shocking to me. People have no idea how many shootings there are in the metro that never get reported. <br /><br />I actually read your blog to get some follow up on my calls. Nobody else has it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
