The Montgomery Police Department reports that 150 people have been shot this year. That’s 43 fewer victims compared to this same time last year.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The number of deaths attributed to gun violence in Montgomery is on the decline, according to the police department.
Police Chief Darryl Albert was sworn into office nearly four months ago and has hit the ground running. Albert said he is proud of the progress MPD is making, but is still not happy with the current statistics.Of the 35 homicides this year, 25 arrests have been made, and Albert said they have solid leads in the remaining 10 investigations.
It’s that level of commitment, along with the city’s strong partnerships, that have made a difference. Albert said the motive behind most shootings in Montgomery is lack of conflict resolution. A high number of stolen weapons being used on the streets is also adding to the problem.
