Based on WHAT available information??
Only the FBI releases murder rates and apparently they don’t break it out by city. Please cite your source.
It seems frankly staggering to me that you assert the murder rate is higher than NYC. Because, according to Google, there were exactly ZERO murders in Lewiston in 2024, the most recent year statistics are available.
Now, there was a mass shooting event in 2023, which was horrific, and killed 16 people. But sadly mass shootings occur in all sorts of locations in all sorts of safe areas, so I don’t think we can single out Lewiston as being causative of , or particularly prone to, mass shootings.
This thread is getting ridiculous. I should note I have no dog in this fight. None of my kids went there. But I really don’t like it when people who really don’t know what they are talking about insist on describing a school as if they did know!
