I use to live in this area and couldn't imagine walking home from the grocery store or ball game and hearing this. There are many great people and a really good sense of community in Downtown and Downtown West and don't deserve this.
St Louis seems to be on track for a typical post-Ferguson year of a mid 60s homicide rate. Still terrible, but not quite as bad as 2020 at least. 2020 St Louis was absolutely demonic. Still, these are homicide rates on par with what you only find in Latin American narco-states.
St Louis murder rate in 2020 kinda flew under the radar. Even though it has rates normally in the 60s it was similar to DC and New Orleans in the 90s. I don't think any other large cities had rates the 80s other than those 3.

Crime is cyclical in St Louis. When I moved back to the area the city went three weeks without anything then Ferguson hit.
These shootouts similar to St. Louis is letting us know we are doing something wrong. Here is one for Indianapolis (correct me if I'm wrong)
Yeah, Indianapolis also has severe gun violence problems. The only reason Indy doesn't look too bad on paper is because the vast majority of Indy, by population and by land area, is quiet suburbia. If Indy still had it's 1950 city limits like St Louis does, the statistics would be much worse. Not as bad as St Louis, probably, but still very dire.
