MEMPHIS, Tenn. This weekend s spike in violent crime is raising concern citywide.
Ten people were shot with two at Incredible Pizza Company and three at CC s Blues Club.
The Memphis Shelby Crime Commission reports a 12% increase in violent crime, such as homicide, murder, and aggravated assault, from last year. More than 70% of those incidents involved a gun.
Bill Gibbons, the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission president, said aggravated assaults are driving the increase.
