Crime in Chicago

A Chicago police officer and two hospital workers were killed Monday by a gunman who carried out a grisly assault at a city hospital.

US police have shot and killed 385 people during the first five months of this year, a rate of more than two a day, the Washington Post reported on May 30. 

The death rate is more than twice that tallied by the federal government over the past decade, a count that officials concede is incomplete, the newspaper said.
