It is scary - especially last night! Are these violent incidents proving to be drug related?

Or just just stress related? It seems like there have been a few family conflicts that ended up in shootings - like the one in Black Forest this week.

what is up with all the violence?

Since this is always in the same part of town maybe some unmarked patrols of the area might help.
COS is going to get a black eye if this crap keeps happening.

Just wondering what people mean when they say crime is taking place in the "same part of town"?

Does that mean east CS? or central? or...??

I'll be there in a month. Still have no idea why my friend chose to move there. The mountains and surrounding areas are beautiful, but the city itself just has so many awful areas..

There are few if any 'awful' areas, unless you have a thing against polluting tailings or cookie cutter developments.

One seemed drug related (in the 'good' park of town) and the other two crazy related.

Gee, I wonder if these were legal firearms....
