FBI Director Christopher Wray pointed to the pandemic, repeat offenders, and more juveniles committing violent crime as some reasons for the increase in an interview with 60 Minutes this week.
In 2020, there was a 29% jump in murder in the United States, nearly 5,000 more people killed than the year before. FBI Director Christopher Wray pointed to the pandemic, repeat offenders, and more juveniles committing violent crime as some reasons for the increase in an"And we're seeing an alarming frequency of some of the worst of the worst getting back out on the streets," Wray told correspondent Scott Pelley.
Wray, who has served as FBI Director since 2017, said violence against police officers is increasing too. "Some of it is tied to the violent crime problem as a whole. But one of the phenomena that we saw in the last year is that an alarming percentage of the 73 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty last year were killed through things like being ambushed-- or shot while out on patrol," Wray told Pelley."Wearing the badge shouldn't make you a target."Pelley also asked Wray about the Bureau's response to the attack on the Capitol.
"We at the FBI shared information through a variety of intelligence products for a solid year leading up to January 6th that raised the potential for violent extremism," Wray said."What we did not, to my knowledge, have was intelligence indicating that thousands of people were going to physically storm the U.S. Capitol in the middle of the constitutional process."
