minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-21 year agoI can really only personally speak about Portland, but the decline seems steeper because the increase had been so dramatic. https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/portlandpolicebureau/viz/PortlandShootingIncidentStatistics/ShootingIncidentStatistics January to August shooting numbers: 2019 - 276 2020 - 497 2021 - 850 2022 - 898 2023 - 725 So, yeah, a dramatic difference from 2022, but still not back to a pre-pandemic baseline. If you look at full year numbers: 2019 - 413 2020 - 919 2021 - 1315 2022 - 1309 2023 - 725 (through August)
