Killings

 

 Two Alabama cities are included in a Washington Post story about U.S. cities with steep increases in homicide rates. 

Montgomery is not one of them, though the Capital City has frequently had high murder rates.

"The deadly spike coincided with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic: The rate of killings rose nearly 30 percent in 2020 and remained high through the following year, according to a Washington Post database created to track the toll. Even now, as the bloodshed has slowed, the homicide rate outpaces pre-pandemic levels."
