so many people died during that tragedy. over 22,000 homicides. when you show these numbers, you can see the increase from 2019, 30% increase. 6.0 in 2009. 7.8 in 2020. the suicide number, this was a surprise. suicides dropped between 2019 and 2020. it was 13.9 suicides per 100,000. and in 2020, it was 13.5 suicides per 100,000. john, as we traveled across the country and talking to police chiefs about the gun violence in this country, they were worried about exactly what they were seeing. sometimes homicide detectives were working so much they barely had time to clear a case before they faced another one. something to note, three states that saw a drop in homicide numbers. maine, nickname, and alaska. so those three states saw a drop. as you talk about this critical
the fact that police departments have been hit hard by covid, then you add in all the violence, especially gun violence, that hit this country. talking about over 21,000 murders, you put on top of that, the fact that hospitals are really good at saving people, that number could be a lot higher. this number is pretty shocking when you think about a 30% increase. when you look at the numbers, it is 2019, 6.0 homicides per 100,000. in 2020, that number jumped to 7.8 homicides per 100,000. and when you include suicide in this, there was a drop there, in 2019, it was 13.9 suicides per 100,000. and 2020, 13.5 suicides per 100,000. as we have been tracking this throughout the year, and i ve been going city to city, this is not just something going on in large cities. midlevel american cities have been dealing with the increase in gun violence, and when you think about police departments dealing with, when you have a small detective crew that has to deal with homicides, you have to put your te
talking to police chiefs across the country, they say this increase has been tough, especially with the fact that so many police officers have died from covid. let s look at the increase. the 30% increase, from 2019, 6.0 homicides per 100,000. in 2020, it jumped to 7.8 homicides per 100,000. when it comes to suicides in the country, we actually saw a drop in 2019, it was 13.9 suicides per 100,000. in 2020, it was 13.5 suicides per 100,000. across the country, we ve seen new measures going in to nmake sure that gun violence spans the communities. no matter what spectrum, crime and community involvement is something people have been talking about especially during the last year. these numbers, though, are really sobering because police departments have been struggling to get a grip on all the gun violence that s happening in the community. when you think about this, hospitals are much better at saving people now than they were ever been before so there s a
is of the top of the heat yesterday a bit cooler today, that is a sign of a change because after the hot and sunny weather to start this week the second half of the week, expect more cloud and increasing shower and a gentle slide in how things will feel out there. at the moment we have approaching from the south west, this is what will bring the change. release thunderstorms for one or two later, the risk of some flooding from that but for most it is dry, some mist and fog around, that were clear. work hard for northern ireland, wales, south west england and the channel islands and still cloudy the final for scotland. away from that, lots of sunshine, hazy and faces and temperatures peaking around 27 degrees in western scotland, in 30 degrees to the south east corner. compared to the 30 degrees we saw yesterday, channel islands, south west england, wales, generally around the low 20s. not rising much from the temperatures we have at the moment. this evening and overnight showers and th
