Yes three separate shootings today. Add that to the shooting death in south Charlotte on tuesday and the two homicides on farm pond from this past sunday. And the death by tazer on wednesday. Hell of a week, crime still down?

I don't know if crime is down or not. All I know is that the numbers only reflect crimes that are reported. I know for a fact that many crimes are not reported, and from my experience most of them come from the Latino community.
Due to these three recent shootings plus the homicide of a man and woman in East Charlotte, Is the better plan for people seeking to relocate to Charlotte cancel that plan to go other surrounding counties?

Well its not a daily occurrence so I would say no.

This is bad, however it's unusual, and yes crime is still down.
One data point doesn't overturned the downward trend in crime.
It's clear though that no matter what anyone says about crime here someone will have something opposite to say about it.
In the words of Frank Loesser, "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition".
