Jefferson Parish's murder rate continued to spiral upward Friday night, after authorities logged a third killing within 24 hours, pushing the bloodshed to its highest level since 1980.
The tally stood at 62 homicides in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, with the West Bank accounting for 43. The previous high for unincorporated Jefferson Parish was 50 murders logged in all of 1990, said Col. John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Friday night's violence, which brought Sheriff Harry Lee to the scene in Terrytown, came more than 24 hours after two men were cut down in a Harvey neighborhood Thursday night.

Glad to see they are doing daily death counts now in this country, as they are doing during a war in Iraq.
Since there's no war to blame the count on however, I doubt we'll be hearing from the "cut and runners".
I dare the dbm to start announcing these numbers on a regular basis like they do in Iraq.

That's horrible! I'm sure there are dozens of illegals or unknown murders in the area as well.
New Orleans has had the highest murder rate in the country for several years ... and it appears they're putting their foot down on LA trying to take that title!
WWL reported an expected murder total of 175 this year (around Halloween). The metro population is still slightly over 1 million ... apply that to LA's numbers ... AND ... 2,975 -> the overall murders would dwarf Iraq!

Wonder how many were the work of peace loving [i]
llegal immigrants? Good question. If the slayings were committed by peace-loving legal citizens, then a mitigating factor would exist. /sarc

I just noticed something about those stats; they're for the CITY of Los Angeles, not the COUNTY. It's missing all sorts of high-crime areas.

John Kerry should convene a summit of world leaders to discuss the problem.
To: SmoothTalker
This is more than likely not an immigrant issue, more likely home grown.

Be assured the murders are primarily the work of the trashy local citizenry.
