Lewiston did not have the highest homicide rate in the USA yesterday
By That distinction went to Clinton, North Carolina, which featured seven homicides in three separate incidents, for a daily rate of one homicide for every 1,200 residents, compared to Lewiston’s rate of one homicide for every 2,000 residents.
The seven killings in Clinton are basically a local story, and the only reason I’m aware of them is because I was looking at the mass shooting statistics at the Gun Violence Archive.
