Overall shootings about the same. Not up. Non-fatal shootings were up three percent. Fatal shootings were down almost 10 percent

I think it should be acknowledged that NOLA has seen a rise in property value despite the crime statistics remaining the same or getting worse.

Other cities would love to have that problem.

Well, if they are about the same, that means that one year has more shootings than the Other.

And if they are about the same, calling 10% fewer fatalities from "about the same amount of shootings" a victory is just dishonest.

It isn't a victory. It was luck.

Gun violence didn't go down. It "stayed about the same" which is still astronomical. The 10% fewer gun deaths talking point is nothing but a pat on the back for something that luck decided.
