Why So Many Murders In Moscow?

There are so many names. On Jan. 10, three people — Terri Grzebielski, David Trail and Belinda Niebuhr — joined a growing roster of lives claimed by violence in and around Moscow in the past 16 years. The other names will sound familiar to many: Wil Hendrick, Tonya Hart, Eric McMillan, David Boss, Crystal Hamilton, Lee Newbill, Paul Bauer, Sarah and Lilly Ann Parks, Rachael Anderson, Katy Benoit, Charles (Pat) McMichael. Hendrick’s killing was never solved. Hart was shot in an alleged murder-for-hire scheme. McMillan died at the hands of two brothers seeking retribution for a perceived slight. Boss was gunned down by a psychotic high school friend. Hamilton was slain by her mentally ill husband, who then killed police officer Newbill and church sexton Bauer before killing himself/ Joel Mills , Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do any of you who have lived or gone to college in Moscow consider the Palouse town dangerous?
