New figures from the FBI show that violent crimes are up for the second straight year in the U.S.
Violent crime rose just over 4 percent in 2016. There was also a nearly-4 percent hike in 2015.
Murders have increased 8.6 percent last year.
It's the first time that a two-year increase has been logged in more than 10 years.
The city of Chicago alone accounts for more than one-fifth of the nationwide murder increase last year.
The Trump administration has warned about a dangerous rise in violent crime, often fueled by violent gangs.
