Friday night's shooting in South Bend was the tenth in the city since October 26th.

The Elkhart and Michigan City incidents bring the total to 12 in less than two weeks.

An overall summary is as follows:

October 26th saw five shootings and one stabbing in South Bend.

Numerous people were hurt and one person, 21-year-old Bradley Walls, was fatally shot at the intersection of LaSalle and Lafayette downtown.

The next two days brought two more shootings to the city.

One of those incidents left a teenager wounded in Pulaski Park.

The other, which took place on Mishawaka Avenue, left 30-year-old Justin Bird dead.

That next Saturday, saw another fatality, this time a stabbing; 36-year-old Carla Proby died in her Western Avenue home.

The next day 32-year-old Quest Jackson is shot and killed on Jackson Street.

Then last Monday, a bartender is shot in the leg at the Anchor Inn on Western.

And finally, a domestic dispute this past Wednesday, ends in a woman stabbing her boyfriend.

And again, Thursday and Friday's shootings make the total 12.

Police are still unsure as to what is causing the recent surge in violence, but many point to the slumping economy.
