Fox News
Homicides in Washington D.C. have exceeded 200 before October for the first time since 1997, leading to anxiety and anger from residents and city leadership.
However, nearly every D.C. ward has experienced at least one killing this year and as many young kids and teenagers have been killed so far in 2023 as in all of 2022. Nikolas Lanum is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
"We're in a state of emergency," Democratic D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. told The Washington Post.
