Pueblo Getting Dangerous

Why Pueblo has the highest per-capita homicide rate in Colorado

Pueblo had 13 homicides in each of 2014 and 2015 - a record - and last year saw a 12 percent increase in aggravated assaults as compared with the previous 12 months. Last year, the city's homicide rate 12 per 100,000 people.

Graphic in the story shows the homicide rate is nearly double that of Denver, Aurora, and Colorado Springs. Sounds like a lot of it is gang activity. Really surprised to see the Post reporting on this.

Stay safe!

Makes me glad we got the hell out of beautiful Colorado and moved to the "Rustbelt" (Illinois).

As they ask for more money, to handle problems, and hire more detectives, they allow this to go on in plain sight, providing a fencing operation for the bangers to get paid for their unwanted murder weapons.

I hate doing anything in Pueblo.

I only go a couple times a year, to PMP, for races, track days, or classes, and then I get the hell out.
