It may seem so with the numbers I collected below. But then again, how often does a single shooting in a location across the country ever interest the media? With the protests, politics, & the divisiveness in the country, it’s no wonder that the numbers I’ve collected are lower than normal…except for Arizona.
It seems like Arizona is the hot spot for violence this year, but most of you should know that’s not true. WPV/SV is everywhere you wish to look, just not someone getting shot. Plenty of incidents below of no one getting seriously injured but the fact is doesn’t lessen the impact that the event was, in actuality, WPV.
