True ... when given as murders/100k/year, it's not out of line with the rest of the world. But the sheer number made an impression on this country boy. 
2001-2013 statistics for reference:
We get from 1-3 (4.6-14.9/100k) murders per year. Five (23.9/100k) in 2005, for some reason.
For the same period in Houston: 198 (9.2) to 377 (18.2).
Crime in El Dorado, Arkansas (AR): murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, thefts, auto thefts, arson, law enforcement employees, police officers, crime map
Crime in Houston, Texas (TX): murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, thefts, auto thefts, arson, law enforcement employees, police officers, crime map
