2021 Deadliest Year in Quarter of a Century in Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago

The Hill reports that Chicago police confirmed the city witnessed 797 homicides during the course of 2021.

The Associated Press notes the 797 homicides represent “25 more than were recorded 2020, 299 more than in 2019 and the most since 1996.”

Moreover, there were “3,561 shooting incidents in 2021, which is just over 300 more than were recorded in 2020.” The figure of 3,561 represents over 1,400 more shooting instances than were seen in 2019.

The Chicago Police Department pointed out that it was targeting illegal guns throughout the year and was able to “[take] a record 12,088 guns off the street in 2021.” The seizure of so many guns is correlated with the formation of the Gun Investigations Team, which is designed to hamper “the flow of illegal guns into the city.” – READ MORE
