Interesting how these appear

Interesting how these appear to show up on the RAIDS Online Crime Map. Three of the six show up as aggravated assaults. One shows up as a burglary (no injury) and one as a robbery (with injury). The Jan. 3, reported shooting can't be found on the RAIDS map. The confusion of where the incident occurred versus where it was reported may indicate the incident could be anywhere on the map or nowhere.

None of the incidents appear to indicate weapons violations. I wonder why. Because they actually never get the person who did the shooting?

Can't see how the East Knoxville shooting, where someone was injured, at Wilder Place and Dandridge Avenue on January 3, 2015. is listed, if at all. The shooting was reported to have occurred in East Knoxville but the victim reported the incident while at 1800 Middlebrook Pike. Neither location has anything on the RAIDS map.

The East Knoxville shooting, where no one was injured, in the 3400 block on Linden Avenue on January 2, 2015, appears to show up as a burglary.

The East Knoxville shooting, with an injury, at Burge Drive in Austin Homes, on January 6, 2015, appears to show up as an aggravated assault.

The Cumberland Avenue shooting, with injury, at Studio X parking lot, 1931 Cumberland, on January 17, 2015, appears to show up as an aggravated assault.

The East Knoxville shooting, with injury, in the 2500 block of Martn Luther King, Jr. Avenue, on January 6, 2015, appears to show up as an aggravated assault.

The North Knoxville shooting, with injury, near the intersection of University Avenue and Boyd Street, on January 11, 2015, appears to show up as robbery - individual.
