The Geography of Gun Violence in Cities and Metros
What we learn when we zoom in on the data.
Gun violence made its way into the area of professional football this weekend, when Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs murdered 22-year-old Kasandra Michelle Perkins, the mother of their 3-month old daughter, in their home. He then turned the gun on himself in front of his coaches and teammates outside Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium.
The Daily News placed attention where it needs to be: "After the predictable, shocked rhetoric of death about Jovan Belcher of West Babylon High and the Kansas City Chiefs, you still arrived back at the only place that mattered in the last hour of his life: the gun."
