The Wild West... Wasn't So Wild in 2023: A Look at San Diego Shootings
Ah, San Diego. Land of beaches, sunshine, and... well, maybe not quite as many shootouts as you might think! That's right, partners (or should I say, sun-seekers?), while San Diego might have a reputation for being a tad bit... lively, 2023 saw a decrease in non-fatal shootings.

| How Many Shootings In San Diego 2023 |
Pow! Pow! Pow! But Not As Much Pow Pow Pow!
According to the San Diego Police Department's shiny new report (pew pew pew, data that is!), there were 23 fewer non-fatal shootings in 2023 compared to 2022. That's a 12% drop, which, let's be honest, is something to celebrate with a celebratory... juice cleanse? Maybe a bonfire on the beach, but with sparklers, not six-shooters, folks.
Now, before you start picturing tumbleweeds rolling down deserted streets (because San Diego definitely isn't deserted, have you seen those beaches?), it's important to remember: shootings still happen. This is good news, sure, but it doesn't mean we should all turn into cowboys (unless it's for a costume party, those can be fun).
Here's the gist: San Diego's got a handle on things, but it's always good to be aware of your surroundings and, you know, not point anything that goes bang at someone else.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
