2010 Chattanooga Shootings



I have been working with some people for a while on mapping the sites of the shootings happening in town. There is still a lot of work to do on the data driving the map, but with this being a big part of the conversation going on in the city, I wanted to go ahead and post the map in progress. In this static form it tells us three things. Shooting locations/approximate locations marked by dots, orange dots represent shootings resulting in injury, red resulting in death. The size of the dots corresponds to the number of incidents at that location. (This view focuses on the heart of the city and, therefore, does not include the Sanders Rd. incident.) Once the data is fine tuned and triple checked, there will be an interactive version of this map. As this is a work in progress, please let me know if you see any obvious errors on the map.
Reminder: This map represents three facts and does not represent any crime analysis or interpretation. Oh, and you should click it open to another tab to see if you haven't already.
