Tucson story

Tucson is the second largest city in Arizona and is about 100 miles from where I live. I found this short, but interesting news blurb about Tucson beating its own record on the number of homicides. There were 74 homicides in 2008 in Tucson. The article, oddly, does not give a break down of how any of them happened. It doesn't say anything about guns, or knives, or baseball bats. It doesn't make any connection to gangs or illegals. In fact, the only reference it makes is to curfew breakers and parties. That's a little weird to me. All those 17 years olds in Tucson must be trouble . I am sure it isn't, at all, due to the fact that Tucson is so close to Nogales and is a major route stop for illegals.



The blurb is annoyingly unfilled with any facts, other then there are 9 more homicides in Tucson, then last year.
