Baltimore has surpassed New York City for homicides this year.
A New York Police spokeswoman said the city had seen 208 homicides as of Wednesday. Baltimore recorded its 212th homicide Wednesday night.
It's a seemingly impossible milestone -- New York has more than 8.4 million people, Baltimore just 620,000.
New York peaked with 2,245 homicides in 1990, but that number has been tumbling and hit a historic low in 2014, with 328.

Go, Balto, Go! You can beat them all this year! National Champions for the first time!
Booo-Rah!
Look at the mayor , need I say more .
Keep putting liberal know-nothings in charge and you'll go nowhere but down.
5:50 - Need to add incompetent States Attorney.
6:15 NYs mayor is as liberal as they come.
And Omally wants to be president. Seems like that gun ban is also working great.
Congratulations Marilyn Mosby, are you happy now?
How about the citizens of Baltimore, are you happy now?
What a shame. This butch will lock up a cop in a heartbeat but not one thug for killing thug. Talk about a racist.
Sounds good to me! Less criminals on the streets, and cleaning up the city.
If she keeps prosecuting police in good shoots it will get worse. I would not dawn that uniform for all the gold on earth. City full of animals. Killing one another by the truck load lol. Yet they want respect. Clean up your race first and stop blaming society for you short comings. It is sickening. The cops there are letting it roll and I don't blame them. They should get the blue flu. Well then again they have to much heart for that. Baltimore is a zoo.
Unfortunately most of the killings have been black on black crimes. With all the "black lives matter" talk, obviously blacks lives don't matter in Baltimore. NAACP clean-up your own house before you go after everyone else!
