Boston has a population of 685,094 in 2017
We have a population of 217,521 in 2017 and for 2 in one day just a couple houses away seems high.
Our local news is dedicated to nothing but the Covid-19, I even went on-line and none of the local news channels have the shootings listed.
About 6 months ago a Joint Task Force raided and arrested like 6 gang leaders and the LEO said there should be a drop in crime. Somehow I believe what that did was open up competition for the gangs to claim dominance and more territory which has resulted in more gang related crimes.
