It was either last year or the year before Boston had a little crime spree for a couple weeks and then things seemed to settle down.

It is probably just the cold weather...although you would think the shooters would want to stay inside.

Sadly it's everyone else who stays inside leaving the conditions more favorable for the shooters. A desolate street is a dangerous street. No witnesses.
