CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Cincinnati is on pace for a historic high number of homicides this year, a top police official told city leaders Tuesday morning.

Shootings are up 48% and homicides have increased 38% so far this year compared with the same period in 2019, said Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate told Council’s Law & Public Safety Committee.

more from Chief Harrison, I think he knows Black lives matter, and he doesn't think much of protesters fooling with NYPD security cameras for that very reason

The #NYPD welcomes peaceful protests.

However, damage to NYPD technology that helps keep this city safe will never be tolerated. These cameras are vital resources which help prevent and solve crimes throughout the city. pic.twitter.com/dwv5vkhQiP
