The heartfelt story you told last week about the stories of the 2 families who moved into Maple Commons so overshadows this unfortunate situation. Most hardworking families just want a nice Village to live in and that is Croton for sure.
The residents I spoke to for the story you mention emphasized that they did not feel the incident affected their safety and was limited to a specific apartment. Nevertheless, it is basic for a media outlet to cover criminal matters in a community, without picking and choosing, especially when a weapon or other potential violence is involved. I agree it is unfortunate.

You do a good job showing both sides of issues and giving the people of Croton a place to voice their concerns and compliments. Thank you for that.
Thank you for the kind words and for understanding what we’re trying to do with the chronicle
The address of the victim should be de-emphasized, but you were right not to hide it. Hopefully the residents have found a quiet and safe home here.
The address of the occurrence and the victim has been a matter of public record for sometime now.
Yes, I think you have the balance right.
