"But crime is DOWN in Salisbury!"

What makes you think this was a crime? It will probably be classified as "roommate accidently drops knife" or maybe "resident slip and fall, impales self on sharp object".

like anything good happens at 1:00 AM. I have no sympathy for those who willingly - despite the dangers and risks - "hang around" until an argument, shooting, or stabbing occurs. Alcohol, drugs/alcohol/culture = murder

Aren't those apartments all Section 8? If so, why is the gentleman living there? I am sure we, the taxpayers, are paying for this woman and her children to live. I swear I am so sick of the handouts!! People need a hand up not a hand out. Section 8 and welfare have become a lifestyle. Tragic but true.

Until you been in a abusive situation i doubt you can reason why someone stays. Fear is a big reason. Look what happend to the girl in princess anne & she didnt "hang around". Domestic violence is real & not to be taken lightly.
