Shootings by Day/Council District



This graphic is one of several that are taking shape from the shooting data. I am taking the different descriptive dimensions in the dataset and combining them to see what is there. Other dimensions include school zone, school district, neighborhood (defined using the neighborhood map from the Ochs Center), and day and time of incident. While a lot of these pieces aren't a surprise, it is interesting to look at them in new ways. For instance, I would not have guessed that, for this year, Tuesdays would be a big day for shootings second to Saturday (11 and 13 respectively). In District 8, Tuesday beats Saturday 7 to 2. Below are the District 8 incidents on the map coded by day.
