Murder rates soar in major United States' cities ... but no one knows why
New numbers show that murder rates are rising sharply across the U.S. — but no one can seem to explain why.
According to a recent New York Times report, at least 35 major cities have reported a spike in murders, violent crimes or both.
In St. Louis murders have risen by 60% and Baltimore by 56% since the same date in 2014.
Last month in New Orleans, 120 people were killed by late August -- that's compared to 98 during the same time last year.
