One person is dead and at least four others have been injured in a shooting in Rivière-des-Prairies Monday evening.
Update early Tuesday: the above links and other accounts now indicate that two people have died in this shooting.
As dwgs notes below, the death count is now three.

CBC now saying three. Madness.

Do you still have an up-to-date homicide map? What’s the “score” this year?

As you’ll see in the sidebar (if you read the blog on a computer browser) there have been 16 homicides this year. This is the 2021 map.

So basically we’re at 17, last year we had 25 in total. Statistically, it’s in the standard deviation. Before yesterday, we had the same % proportionally to August, and it was the pendemic year when everything stopped.
So it’s mostly media that’s hyping the “dangerousness” of 2021 and Montreal as homicides have never been as low since the early 1970’s.

Why 17?

Kate, a small request regarding the murder map: can you change the base map to “Light Political” or “Mono City?” That would remove all those highway markers yet still leave the roads visible. (I find the highway markers very distracting when trying to visualize patterns on the map.)

Only for you, Blork.
