There were 4 shootings in a span of 10 days at CHOP (the entire thing lasted 23 days and covered 6 blocks). A 16 year old and a 19 year old were killed and four other people were shot, including a 14 year old. That's "not that bad"?

Seattle has 500 shootings a year. It just is what it is, so 4 over 23 days doesn't seem that extraordinary.

500 shootings - how many of those were homicides? Also, Seattle is 83 square miles. I'm talking about what happened within a 6-block area over a span of 23 days.
