| CNN: Chicago hits 700 homicides |
| 2016-12-02 |
| It's the first time the city has recorded more than 700 homicides in nearly two decades, according to the Chicago Tribune. Chicago had 704 homicides in 1998, the Tribune reported, and is on a pace to easily break that mark. Guns are driving the violence, with more than 90% of the 2016 homicides gun-related, said Anthony Guglielmi, head of communications for the Chicago Police Department. There have been 3,315 shooting incidents this year, police said. Officers have recovered 8,000 guns, a 20% jump over last year, and gun arrests are up 8% over last year. |

| #2 Guns are driving the violence And here I was thinking it might be crime, the off-market pharmaceutical trade, gang-banging or some other sort of tribalism. Silly me. |
