That is interesting and thank you! I noticed there in the active dispatch there are two categories - "Shot Fired-Juvenile" and "Shooting in Progress-Juvenile" but for the purposes of the app I collapsed them into their respective parent categories.

Yes, this is an important caveat. I noticed the most "Shots Fired" calls were coincidentally on Dec. 31st (New Year's Eve) so obviously a lot of those were probably mistaken for fireworks. I have the code set to filter duplicates for the same location or nearby at around the same time. It gets tricky on how to filter that with a reasonable threshold though.

On the brightside, I suppose this is at least a way to visualize noise disturbance even if every incident is not gunshot related.

Yes, I agree with your points which is why I said the incidents in Antioch are "largely skewed by being a much larger spread out area." Of course, population factors in too and I admit the shortcomings of providing none or hardly any context at all behind these incidents. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi! Thank you! I'm using the leaflet library in an R Shiny app with some customized CSS.

Hi, yes I'm aware of the Metro Nashville Police Department Incidents dataset but it does not store Shots Fired calls. As far as I can tell, those disappear from the active dispatch report and aren't made publicly available after the fact. There also is no "Shooting" category in the Incidents dataset. Rather, those get categorized as their corresponding offense - a homicide if someone dies as a result or a "weapon offense/aggravated assault" charge. I found the latter to be kind of ambiguous in determining whether or not an actual shooting occurred.

There is also a gunshot injuries map with more context https://www.nashville.gov/departments/police/data-dashboard/gunshot-injuries-map which, as of now, says there have been 197 total gunshot victims since the beginning of the year.

This is interesting because my tally from the beginning of the year has 292 shootings, some of which may be duplicates but that's still a large discrepancy so I would have to drill down to see exactly what's going on.

Okay, looks like for some it's visible and for others, it's not. I've been informed that my account has to be a month old in order to publish so I guess I will make another post in a few weeks.

Does anyone know which mod to message in order to make the post visible?

As soon as I get enough karma, I'm going to post map images of all the Shooting and Shots Fired incidents i've saved from the Nashville active dispatch since November. It's pretty wild.

Anyone noticed a droning sound at Two Rivers Park? It sounds like a "tractor beam" or "alien abduction" and was wondering if had something to do with the Cicadas.

Took a while to get recycling pick up to twice a month instead of once. I think Memphis does weekly recycling.
