Rise In Seattle Gang Violence Not Cool

The Seattle Police Gang Unit is shaking things up a bit with a new strategy and initiative--plus overtime--this summer to prevent and control the rise in gang violence shifting daily between Central and South Seattle. Honestly, we prefer not writing about the slew of shootings and gang violence taking over parts of Seattle, because we are lovers, not fighters here. But it's getting bad out there. Last year alone, there were 28 homicides due to gang violence. So for everyone's sake we hope whatever new strategies SPD has up their bullet-proof sleeves, they work.
