Chicago violence up by half compared to last year

Chicago elected its first leftist mayor last year. So the following news is predictable. 

Oh, Chicago's most famous former resident, Barack Obama, is on a media book tour  hawking his third memoir. Why isn't the compliant mainstream media asking him about the city's runaway violence?

From Fox News:

Gun violence continues to plague Chicago streets with the city seeing a significant uptick in shootings and murders compared to last year. 

On Tuesday, the Chicago Police Department reported 3,790 people were shot through Nov. 30, compared to 2,403 in the same time period last year. Murders increased by more than half – 716 homicides through the end of November, compared to the 464 murders in 2019. 

In 2016, the city saw 715 homicides, a figure that decreased each of the following three years. 

Shootings in November increased from 154 last year to 267, according to police figures. Nearly 340 people were shot over the month as well.
