Non-fatal shootings see big uptick in Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- More than halfway through 2021, and Baltimore continues to outpace last year when it comes to the growing gun violence in the city. 

So far, more than 355 people have been shot, injured and survived in what police label "non-fatal" shootings. Statistics show that's a more than 11% increase in non-fatal shootings from this same time last year.

The man who was shot ended up surviving, something police credit to new specialized training city officers receive. Something doctors at Shock Trauma spoke to Operation Crime & Justice about back in March.

Yeah..... no. I'm more inclined to believe the reason more people are surviving is because shooters are using the old 'spray and pray' technique using the Glock switches that are so popular with colored folks instead of aimed shots.
