Portland Crime Charts Of The Day Show Shifts In Gun Crime

The maps below, for some reason marked "do not disseminate," are reproduced from the report, which was posted online.

Gang violence is in the news again after a wave of recent shootings, including the arrest this week of a 15-year-old suspect near a gun violence hotspot in East Portland.
