Chicago’s Violent Crime In January Matches Bloody Start Of 2016
CBS ^ | 2-1-17

“We are going to have to do something about Chicago. Because what is happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country.”

Last month also saw 234 shooting incidents and 299 shooting victims – compared to 242 shooting incidents and 291 victims during the same time period last year.

Despite the grim numbers in January, police have said a new plan is helping get guns off the streets. Police recovered more than 600 guns last month, an increase of more than 60 percent over January 2016. Police said gun arrests also were more than double the total from January 2016.

Fake news to make themselves and the mayor look good?

No significant change from last year? I would take that as a good sign.
