You would be forgiven if you’ve lost track of the shootings in Maricopa over the last several weeks.
In the first half of May alone, Maricopa police responded to five shootings, marking the once quiet city’s highest rates of gun violence in its 23-year history, according to Arizona Department of Public Safety data.
Since Feb. 28, InMaricopa has reported 10 shootings in the city or by a Maricopa resident near the city, averaging one per week through March, April and May. With multiple shootings reported hours apart in the same neighborhood yesterday, it became clear some were dizzied by the sheer frequency of the violence.
It has become such an issue, Maricopa Police Chief Mark Goodman wrote an op-ed addressing the violence, pleading for peaceful resolutions to what seems to be a common thread in these incidents: personal disputes. InMaricopa published the op-ed this morning.
