Definitely, I feel the reported number of 60 violent crimes in The Villages per year is incorrect.
In the 4 years I have lived here, I can only recall a couple of violent crimes besides the murder in 2006 (which was before my time here). One was a woman who shot her husband during a domestic dispute (both were retired police and had guns at home), two assaults with deadly weapons (both happened a couple of Christmasses ago and guns were shown in a threatening way during a dispute over parking spaces at Lake Sumter Landing), and the report of an armed robbery of customers at Gators Dockside.
Can anyone think of others I have missed?
