Shots Heard Around the District
4th November 2013
The District’s ShotSpotter has detected 39,000 outdoor gunshot incidents in the past eight years. Sensors cover about a third of the city and are concentrated where gun crime is highest. It allows police to respond immediately to the exact location where shots are fired and provides a dramatic picture of the danger faced in many neighborhoods.
Thank God for those strict gun control laws. Otherwise it might wind up looking like Texas….
