Freddy Gray-30 Days Later

In the 30 days since Freddie Gray died following injuries sustained in police custody, 34 people have been murdered in Baltimore. The city has seen more than 160 non-fatal shootings, a 60 percent increase from this time last year, and a 40 percent jump in homicides. This shows that the Freddie Gray beating, and death has not caused a decrease in violence as people realized what people had done. Instead, we can see that it has caused a spike in violence and other attacks.
