Cincy: Concerns rise as rash of shootings continues

Cincinnati's WCPO.com is reporting that several shootings in the Tri-state in recent days have prompted community leaders to look for a way to stop the violence. In just the past two days police and paramedics have assisted at least five gunshot victims. And on Wednesday night police responded to two more shooting scenes -- one in Evanston on Blair Avenue and the other at the Fay Apartments.
The shooting at Fay Apartments in North Fairmount, five days after a man was found shot to death in a car there.
When concealed carry became law one year and one day ago, gun ban extremists predicted we'd be reading stories like these. But there is one small problem for these anti-self-defense zealots: in all likelihood, not one of the above incidents involved a CHL-holder.

According to WCPO, investigators throughout the city are having a difficult time finding witnesses who will talk. And they say many who live nearby the shooting scenes are worried about their safety. "It's very frightening, a murder has taken place right in front of our house," said one College Hill resident about Tuesday's fatal shooting.
The gun ban lobby would have people believe that there is more to fear from a woman who has obtained a concealed handgun license to protect herself from an abusive spouse than from the criminals with illegal guns who are perpetrating these crimes. Frightening indeed.
