In terms of raw numbers...
For many years, violent crime (including homicides by gunfire) has been on the decline across the country. Unfortunately, the first half of 2015 has seen an increase in homicides as compared to the first six months of 2014. I hope that trend in the wrong direction doesn't continue.
