Bartmeister.... Please check the crime maps at the link above in the story for " Raleigh crime map and alerts "just from the first of the month and search solely on shootings...Its alarming as I said and when you look at all the crimes just for the 18th of Dec as example its staggering...Raleigh is not like it used to be and is hitting the headlines more and more. Many other crimes just don't hit the pages for the masses to see...Publications will change in the future to show this new surge in Raleigh. It may not exceed Durhams but its on the rise!!!

You have to be delirious. Raleigh is over twice the size and half of the violent crimes. It's printed in any publication. Check it out. However, Durham, although crime riddled isn't as bad as Winston Salem, per capita. Bartmeister

So if a county is larger but hits the headlines more for shootings lately it doesn't count because there is more people to reduce the %.??...You are reading way too much into this and trying to defend Raleigh who in fact has hit the headlines more lately with shootings and stabbings. Crime is on the rise in Raleigh lately at an alarming rate..Thats the facts...I have never been a victim of crime living in Durham over 24yrs, but have been 3 times in Raleigh and buddy robbed at gunpoint.That`s good enough proof for me on changing statistics..

Google search shows the shot man has a history of dealing drugs. I guess we know what happened here.

Carlton Place is the Chavis Heights projects. It's still a haven for the entitlement crowd. Just a matter of time before the new place will be in ruins just like the old place. Nothing free is appreciated or taken care of.

I knew this didn't happen in Wakefield even before opening the article.
