Eleven of 13 tracked crimes were lower in 2025 than in 2024.

CCJ President Adam Gelb says it's hard to tell what drove the drop, citing shifts in criminal justice policies and advances in crime-fighting technology.

Violent crime was already falling to a two-decade low in President Joe Biden's final year.

The numbers collected did not include stats from Jackson, Mississippi or Birmingham, Alabama, which the FBI says had the top two highest murder rates per 100,000 people in 2024.

The shooting happened when the officers were called to investigate a threat with a knife, and upon arriving, someone opened fire on them.

A third person has died following a Pennsylvania nursing home explosion last month.

The Bucks County, Pennsylvania, coroner's office says 66-year-old Patricia Merrow died from injuries she sustained in the December 23rd explosion.

Two others were also killed and nearly two dozen were hurt in the incident at the Silver Lake Nursing Home in Bristol, a suburb of Philadelphia.

Early reports indicate a natural gas leak may have caused the explosion, but an investigation being led by the National Transportation Safety Board is ongoing.

News of the third death comes as a lawsuit has been filed by four survivors who are suing the facility's previous and current owners.

The suit has also named the utility company that provided natural gas to the facility, as well as its parent company.
