Episode: Chicago shootings have become deadlier.
Description: In Chicago, if you were to be shot today - you’d be more likely to die from your injuries than you would have been 13 years ago.
That’s the finding of a new report from nonprofit news outlet The Trace.
It’s a stunning reversal of long-term trends, in which faster response times and better medical care had for years improved the chances of surviving a gunshot.
Reporter Rita Oceguera from The Trace joins me now to talk about why that is – and the impact it’s having on the city. Producer: Noah Jennings
