Mapped: Shootings around Seattle's Garfield High School this year
In the last year, there have been at least six shootings in and around Garfield High School in Seattle's Central District. After the fatal shooting at Garfield High School last week, parents and students noted other shootings that have occurred around the high school this year -- and called for solutions to the broader, ongoing pattern of gun violence in Seattle's Central District.
Where did these numbers come from?
