@LowellSun @IAFFLocal853 A lot coming from the guy who got a 10% raise last year

[Breaking In Bay State @BreakingBay]

@aselahcurtis @LowellSun Lowell Police posted on their crimemapping site this morning that the fire was an arson.

@LowellSun @aselahcurtis How much is that drop in crime in 2023 due to Lowell PD only reporting crime data for 5 out of 12 months through the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting system. I believe the data on the Massachusetts dashboard is sourced from the FBI. (https://t.co/h4shz2stpa)

@aselahcurtis Definitely seems like this area is in the middle of some type of gang war

Since June 1st, 8 crimes have been added to https://t.co/q8OCQyLMff. Those include 2 shots fired, 2 gun assaults, 2 gun arrests, a knife assault, and a stabbing.

As of right now, expect weekly updates about posted crimes as I have been busier than usual.

Rollover on 110 in Dracut near Xtreme Toyz. Reported entrapment on scene. There is also talk of Medflight responding.

Officer responding to the scene reporting that it is gridlocked starting at Gorham St. Unknown when the issue will be mediated.

Avoid the Connector (at least SB) as there is a report of a vehicle striking a pole on Lincoln St causing wires to fall across the highway. Traffic is reportedly at a standstill.

@aselahcurtis I think there was a fight on that street a few days ago that ended in gunshots

[Breaking In Bay State @BreakingBay]

@SidCarton22 @InsideLowell @LowellHigh @MayorRourke @LowellPSD The majority of incidents are likely minor and handled internally. However there are still 14 incidents that were serious enough to require police involvement. At a school with a chronic absent rate of 37%, shouldn't the city focus on making students feel comfortable in school.

[Breaking In Bay State @BreakingBay]

@SidCarton22 @InsideLowell @LowellHigh @MayorRourke @LowellPSD Comparing it to other larger school districts in the area where data is public:
Worcester - 3 reports
Manchester - 7
Haverhill - 8

In the end, these are criminal reports where the police are involved. These are not numbers for every fight that takes place in the schools.

Lowell Fire responding to a report of smoke in the building on May St. Now a reported porch fire.

Also another call simultaneously for odor of gas in a building in Lowell.

Yesterday afternoon, Lowell PD responded to a reported gunshot victim at a local hospital. Later, just after midnight, shots were fired near Lawrence and Billerica that resulted in officers locating multiple pieces of evidence.

[Lowell Violent Crime Mapping @LowellVCM]

Yesterday morning, a victim of a shooting reportedly walked into a local hospital with severe injuries. The shooting may have occurred in the Back Central neighborhood. More @ https://t.co/jLYPtVGhwm

[Breaking In Bay State @BreakingBay]

@aselahcurtis There were a ton of calls for shots fired over there this morning that I think ended in those arrests.

[Lowell Violent Crime Mapping @LowellVCM]

Change to the previous update

The individual crime map has been reinstated, but with a new condition: Crimes viewed must be either verified by article or Lowell PD.

If other verification methods (i.e. verified by arrest, unverified) are checked off, the point map cannot be used
