Chicago is close to surpassing 600 homicides for the second year in a row
At 593 homicides as of Monday morning, Chicago is inching closer to reaching 600 for the second year in a row for only the second time since 2003, the Tribune reports. The only good news is that there have been fewer murders this year as compared to last; in 2016, the city had recorded 681 homicides by early November. [Tribune]
