Beijing, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) according to US media reports, local police said at least 150 murders occurred in Jackson, Michigan this year, almost all of them shooting. The murder rate in the city is as high as 97.6 per 100000 residents, 15 times that of the United States in 2020. US media said Jackson has become one of the deadliest cities in the United States.

On November 30 local time, a school shooting occurred at Oxford high school on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan, killing three people and injuring eight.
CNN said that around Thanksgiving this year, Jackson, a city plagued by gun violence and the new crown crisis, had a series of shootings, with a total of more than 130 murders, breaking the city's murder record last year.
According to the police, as of December 21 this year, 150 murders had occurred in the city, and almost all of them were shootings. The city's murder rate is 97.6 murders per 100000 residents, 15 times the national murder rate of 6.5 per 100000 in the United States in 2020.
In 2020, St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the deadliest cities in the United States, with more than 80 murders per 100000 people. "Jackson has now surpassed that level," said Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri in St. Louis
US media said that the rising gun violence further exposed the city's deep-rooted social and political problems.
The new epidemic has exposed all the inequalities in society, and it is becoming more and more difficult to solve them. Jackson's challenging public institutions, including police stations, parks and social services, faced immeasurable pressure during the pandemic.
Earlier this year, Jackson also joined the list of poor cities in the United States, which attracted national attention. In addition, Jackson is a firm democratic City, while Michigan, where it is located, is a firm Republican state. The gun law in this state is one of the loosest laws in the United States.
On the other hand, according to CNN's analysis of more than 40 major cities, more than two-thirds of the most populous cities in the country have more murders in 2021 than last year.
