The FBI says Detroit is the nation's most dangerous city.
According to recent statistics, the violent crime rate in 2019 did fall from 2018 levels, but there still over 13-thousand murders, rapes, assaults and robberies.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig says the number of illegal guns in the city and people using them to settle disputes are a couple of reasons the violent crime rate is high. He's also concerned about the rate for 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Non-fatal shootings so far this year are up by 50 pe cent while the homicide rate is 23 per cent higher over 2019.
