San Bernardino was the site of the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in three years. The 14 people gunned down on December 2, 2015 at the Inland Regional Center contributed significantly to the city’s overall 2015 homicide rate.

While there have been no mass shootings of in the city so far this year, the murder rate is on the rise. As of mid-September 2016, 51 homicides had been reported in San Bernardino, compared to the 44 for all of 2015.

Naw we good. Murder was worse in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Really surprised at Hartford and Milwaukee

Gary been getting a lot better. They just had a bad month in October with a decent number or murders back to back but before that this year it was down even more than last year. They actually cleaning it up breh. Investment is coming in and the mayor they got now actually is doing her job unlike that clown Rudy Clay

move outta chicago they say......Move outta chicago to atlanta or dc just to lessen your chances of living brehs

Take away the 45% or so white population in Chicago and those homicide rate numbers would spike.

I just used to hear about it. What has led to the decrease in murder? More police? more jobs?

More police and City leaders who actually give a fukk. Jobs coming in but it's a slow trickle on that really. But still an improvement nonetheless. They had 2 mayors for damn near 2 decades that didn't give a fukk. Plus Gary kinda purged itself back in the 90s. Ain't really nobody left to beef with or kill really. This city got good bones. It wasn't gonna stay in the basement forever.

It's a # game reduce the population of any city and the ratio changes... But what do you mean by "white"?
