As of last week, there were 803 shooting victims in Philadelphia this year, compared with 697 for the same period last year - a 15.2 percent increase, according to Police Department statistics.

As of yesterday, there were 166 homicides, compared with 164 for the same period in 2005. The total for last year was 380 killings, the most in eight years.

The FBI's preliminary crime statistics for 2005 drove home the fact that Philadelphia is suffering through a particularly violent period.

For instance, among cities with more than one million residents, violent crime - murder, ****, robbery, aggravated assault - was down by 0.4 percent in 2005, according to the FBI's report.

In Philadelphia, violent crime was up 3.36 percent.

Six of the 10 largest cities reported decreases in homicides. Philadelphia saw a 15percent rise, according to the Police Department's count.

WTF is wrong with my people???

It's seems like people are scared to knuckle up any more

Everyone wants to be a gangsta, but what they don't realize is that once you take a life that person is never coming back. And most likely you will be giving yours up too for a cell. And why because they looked at you wrong, said something to you, etc.... If it bothers you that bad just beat their ***, don't take their life

There has been a significant increase in the number of shooting victims ages 13 to 15.

"Kids not old enough to drive are sustaining gunshot wounds," Ross said.

In a conversation with a young city rapper, Ross said, he was told that teen girls in parts of the city are increasingly enamored of boys who have guns. Other teens in interviews with The Inquirer say having a gun and a reputation for violence does attract certain girls.

That just adds to the reasons - including drug activity and personal protection - that juvenile males are turning to guns.

More weapons in the hands of immature youths has resulted in more "craziness," Ross said.

"Kids get used to growing up in an environment where [shootings] happen a lot," said Jeffrey A. Roth, associate director for research at the Jerry Lee Center, "and then they don't think twice about doing that."
