Part 2/6:
In the months of June, July, and August alone, the city recorded a total of 123 homicides, representing a 24% decrease compared to the same period last year. Law enforcement officials recovered 941 firearms in August—an average of roughly 30 guns per day—bringing the total firearms recovered so far this year to nearly 7,700. These figures suggest that, despite prevailing narratives, Chicago is making some tangible progress in reducing violent crime.
