Today we present the grim numbers when it comes to homicides in Delaware County in 2010.
The numbers are an ugly stain as we close out the year. You can read about them here.
But we weren’t even able to get them into print when we needed to add one more to the list.
Once again violence reared its head in Chester. As of yesterday afternoon there were 34 homcides in Delaware County. Of those, 24 took place in Chester.
Those numbers are likely to go up today, with the likelihood that an incident in the 700 block of East Seventh Street last night is ruled a homicide.
Police say a man was gunned down as he stood in the doorway of a home.
Chester has come a long way. Last year marked another huge milestone when they opened the doors to PPL Park and welcomed Major League Soccer to the city.
But these grim numbers are proof of just how far the city still has to go.
