It’s officially been another year of triple-digit homicides in the District of Columbia. Freeman Klopott noticed today that MPD’s crime statistics show that, once again, D.C. has surpassed the 100 homicide mark. Attempting to keep D.C. homicides under 100 has been a bit of an obsession for Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier throughout the years; this year, the city at least made it into October before hitting the century mark. Last year, it was still September when the milestone was hit.

It’s worth noting that the number of homicides are still lower than they were at this point last year; Lanier can probably take some solace in that, I suppose.
