Hey Jackass isn't reliable. I'll wait for the rest. So far it's 6 (though that's not exactly better)
And for the second part, life goes on. After a while getting shot and or killed just seems like a natural part of life. Even as a kid.
It seems they count 'self defense' and shootings involving law enforcement also as homicides but other than that they seem pretty spot on. They specify the individual shootings, including time and address, as well: on their website below Marilyn Monroe holding the "Beware of Danger July 4th" sign.
At 12:00am, the counter stands at 10 killed and 35 wounded.
Lynn MA a homicide last night.3 people shot, one dead.
The 4th saw at least 6 people shot and 2 stabbed in Boston. Homicide unit was called in for one female in Roxbury. Pending. By my rough count this week has seen at least 19 shot and 12 stabbed in Boston-24 incidents in Roxbury Dorchester and Mattapan with 2 incidents in East Boston.

We have to get it together as a society and find out what is really going on in our cities. Something is seriously wrong. Guns are not manufactured in Baltimore. Generally speaking people in St. Louis and Chicago are no more violent than they are in San Diego and Boston. What is going on?
30 shot last night in NYC, smh. Thankfully it rained on July 3rd, kept the overall shootings for the weekend down so far, but July 4th did not disappoint.
