PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Roughly 2,000 people have been shot in Philadelphia this year, according to the latest city data, and the numbers keep rising every day.
Nearly 200 of the injured are at least 18 years old or younger — and more than 30 of them are dead.
In all, more than 450 people have been killed so far this year.
This year is unprecedented for city crime and is expected to break records, but behind the numbers are real people — your neighbors, your children, your friends, your coworkers.
In a special upcoming project, KYW Newsradio wants to share the voices of the victims and the everyday trauma they endure.
