WND previously reported gun murders in the U.S. are concentrated in big cities that typically have the strictest gun-control regulations.
The gun-murder rates in those cities are comparable to the rates in some of the deadliest Third World countries, the report said.
Now a WND review of a number of cities with high gun-murder rates shows a clear majority of the victims had criminal arrest histories. In some cities, it’s up to 91 percent.
The 2011 Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission is a review of police data compiled from Wisconsin’s largest city.
Milwaukee, with a population of just less than 600,000, is 40 percent African-American and 37 percent white. The 2011 Homicide Review Commission reports there were 86 homicides that year, with 93 percent of the suspects black males.
Overall, the homicide rate was 14.5 per 100,000 residents, and the nonfatal shooting rate was 79.5 per 100,000 residents. However, when broken down by race, “the homicide rate per black residents is 27.9 per 100,000 compared to 9.7 per 100,000 Latino residents and 1.7 per 100,000 White residents.”
