LinkLinks Washington Times: Bucking U.S. trend, D.C. homicide total already tops 2017 By Editor On Sep 26, 2018 56 Share Bucking a trend in other major U.S. cities where the homicide rate is heading down, the District has just passed a grim milestone: More people have been killed in the city so far this year than for the entire year of 2017. And there’s more than three months still to go in 2018. Fourteen people were shot and two people were stabbed over the weekend in what D.C. police believe are unconnected crime sprees. Seven of the gunshot victims died, bringing the total number of homicides this year in the District up to 118 as of Tuesday evening — passing 2017’s total of 116 victims.
