Yeah, I found myself thinking about what it means to live in a "safe" or "dangerous" neighborhood. On the one hand, a single shooting (as opposed to, say, constant gunfire in the streets, as it was in Dot for a while a month ago) in someone's home can happen anywhere, and really doesn't necessarily mean anything about the neighborhood. After all, people are occasionally murdered in Newton and Brookline, too.
On the other hand, it means that your neighbors are the sort of people who get shot; worse, targeted to be shot. Which can't be great.
