Police leaders said the numbers showed progress, but the work to address gun violence in Dallas needed to continue.
Dallas police say gun violence in the city is falling: the latest crime data from the department shows homicides are down more than 26% compared to last year, and assaults are down more than 19%.
“Overall, violent crime for the city of Dallas is down just over 17%,” said Major Jason Scoggins with Dallas PD. While department leaders said the numbers were positive, they also acknowledged the difficulties lying ahead. Johnson lost a son to gun violence. He told NBC 5 that families in hard-hit areas have still been feeling the impact of shootings, and he believed outreach to young people needed to continue.
