The Not-So-Grand Ole Opry of Gun Violence: A Statistical Breakdown (or lack thereof)
Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't there just one big Nashville shooting we need to worry about?" Well, buckle up, partner, because Music City, it seems, has a bit of a medley of misfortune. There's the Easter brunch incident that left folks more shook than a karaoke singer after a tequila shot. Then there's the heartbreaking school shooting that, well, let's just say the body count is something nobody wants to sing about.
Here's the rub: getting a clear picture of how many folks got injured in these dust-ups is harder than finding a decent pair of boots that aren't bedazzled. The Easter brunch situation had folks scattering faster than roaches at a flashlight convention, with reports of 5 wounded folks, but some sources say it might be less.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
The school shooting, however, is a different story. This one involved a lone gunman and a whole lot of heartbreak. Six people - three students and three adults - were tragically killed. Thankfully, there weren't any additional injuries reported, but that doesn't make the tragedy any less.
Important Note: We here at the Department of Dodging Stray Bullets and Unearthing Facts would like to stress that these are just the reported numbers. Sometimes, in the chaos, folks might not even realize they got a minor owie.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
So, How Many Folks Got Hurt After All?
Truth is, without a lasso and a whole lot of investigative grit, we might never know the exact number. But hey, that's why they call it a mystery, right?
Here's the bottom line: Nashville's had a couple of rough shooting situations, and the exact number of injured folks is a bit murky.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
