Wondering what percent of the "city's shootings" in 2018 were committed by police offers and/or other individuals employed by the city & county in question here ?

So The Mercury is pro-gun now? Hmm.

@1: There were 6 PPB shootings in 2018 with three of those being non-fatal, and one being an African-American.
