Chicago is expected to see more than 600 homicides this year. This is the second time the nation's third largest city will reach the milestone since 2003.
As of this past weekend, the 'Second City's' homicide total stands at 593, the Chicago Tribune reports. This weekend saw five fatal shootings.
The Chicago Police Department has a different total, 581, because it does not include homicides committed on expressways or by police officers determined to have been justified in their use of force.
The news comes after US President Donald Trump made comments early in his presidency painting Chicago as a 'war zone'.
