Here is an interesting article on gun violence attributing gun violence more to neighborhoods:
It’s been known for some time that gun violence, like many other forms of crime and other social problems, can be clustered within certain neighborhoods,” says Charles Loeffler, the Jerry Lee Assistant Professor of Criminology in the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Arts & Sciences. “So when we observe that a particular part of the city has an elevated risk, how do we understand what that phenomenon actually is?”
What do you think?

There was a previous study posted on RP that made the same observation on a broader basis. The majority of gun violence is endemic and localized. However one event like Las Vegas can burst that statistical bubble when you have 50 KIA in one random incident in a location not normally the site of frequent shootings. Of course that depends on whether you are aggregating data based on number of shootings, or number of gun related deaths.
