To date, there have been more than 356 homicides and over 1,500 reported shooting victims in Philadelphia in 2020. Approximately 17 percent of shooting incidents (250 shootings) have been classified as fatal, and tragically, the City has now surpassed the 2019 end-of-year total for citywide murders. While many major U.S. cities are seeing similar spikes in gun violence, we maintain that one homicide is one too many, and that gun violence is entirely unacceptable.
