Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted October 25, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont’s homicide topped 25 last year, the most the state has seen in nearly three decades, and Vermont State Police say the trend is a cause for concern. “In comparison to the numbers that we’re seeing of the homicides and increased violence, is it concerning? Yes. And it’s probably concerning to everybody,” said Vermont State Police Maj. Dan Trudeau. He says while Vermont remains one of the safest states in the country when talking about homicides, it’s not immune to the rise in violence seen in other states last year. Over a 10-year period from 2013 to 2022, the 10-year homicide average was roughly 14 per year, including justified police shootings. Vermont saw a spike from nine in 2021, to 25 last year -- nearly double the 10-year average. State police do not yet have definitive data on all of the 2022 cases -- including six that remain unsolved -- but Trudeau says drugs are a common denominator in about half. “It ties into what we see in terms of overdose data and addiction rates. You know, a number of things come with that -- your burglaries, your robberies -- I think we’re seeing this uptick in homicides as a relation to that,” he said.

From reading some of the community FB groups the State Police are very understaffed. I have seen where several people have called them for small incidents and they never see or hear from them. At least not by the time they post it on FB, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely see a cop unless I go to Newport, Lyndonville or St J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I walked out of this lobby less than 20min before the shooting. Nuts. https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shooting-marriott-river-north-michigan-avenue/13960179/ Not a murder and not a surprise as it is chicago, but way too close to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think that they were hunted down by some big players and executed. Odd that they were found a mile apart. You would think that whoever killed them wouldn't want multiple scenes. Maybe one made a run for it but not far enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
