It seems that Baltimore and DC would have a higher rate, but then they are not ‘states.’
And I don’t think very many people are shot with knives, but who knows.
I remember when we drove in late August or early September 1966 from Upstate New York through Baltimore to get to Florida, where my husband's parents had moved a couple of years earlier. The impression I had of Baltimore was very negative. It looked very run down, and I was glad when we got to a different area.
