Is this sports?
CINCINNATI – With two shooting deaths Sunday, the city has tied last year’s rate of 79 homicides.
The modern record was set in 1971 with 81 murders in a year.
The 78th homicide was discovered at 2:15 a.m. Police responded to a report of a person shot at 515 E. 12th Street in Over the Rhine. They found the victim, Michael Shane Miller, 26, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 79th homicide was discovered hours later in Kennedy Heights. Police responded at 5 a.m. to a report of a person shot at 3643 Northdale Place and found David Slaughter, 17. He had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Cincinnati police statistics show that an average of four homicides a year occur in December, according to data dating to 1968. If that holds true this month, 2006 will be the deadliest year since 1971.
Anyone with information on either of the homicides that occurred Sunday should call the Criminal Investigations Section at 513-352-3542 or Crime Stoppers at 513- 352-3040

Damn....that's alot of deaths in one year. I wonder how many they get in a City like New York City or Chicago. Good job TJ to great attention to detail. We are proud.
That's awesome. I wonder if 2007 will have the first homicide of the year before the first birth of the year like Cincy did for 2006.
ha, i forgot about that.
That's crazy!
