Impact analysis
Expect a spike in emergency response, police overtime, and hospital costs—money that will likely come out of the city's already stretched budget.
No one benefits from a tragedy like this, though it could force City Hall to finally direct more funding toward public safety and victim support.
The victims, their families, and the entire Stockton community are harmed—especially those who now feel less safe at everyday gatherings.
