When it comes to deadly shootings in Louisville, 2023 looks a lot like 2022
In 2023, Louisville experienced a high number of shootings, with 553 individuals dead or wounded, as reported by LMPD.

Our own Josh Crawford joins the conversation with real solutions for bringing about public safety improvement in 2024.
