Memorial Day kicked off the unofficial start of summer last weekend, and with warming temperatures, some communities have reported that crime is heating up. According to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more crimes do tend to happen in the summer.
In this episode, we’ll check in with some responses to a recent crime uptick including two officer-involved cases in Buffalo, New York. In another case out of Pennsylvania, a man with an extensive criminal record allegedly tried to kill a police officer before authorities fatally shot him.
Featuring audio from Marty Griffin of KDKA in Pittsburgh, WBEN News and Talk in Buffalo and WBBM Newsradio in Chicago.
