Murder Numbers Up In Ohio Big Cities

The number of murders climbed this year in New York and many other major U.S. cities, including Cincinnati and Cleveland, with homicides reaching their highest levels in a decade in some places.

Among the reasons given: gangs, drugs, the easy availability of illegal guns, and a disturbing tendency among young people to pull guns when they do not get the respect they demand.

Some cities, like Cincinnati - which has had 83 homicides so far, up from 79 in 2005 - posted their highest numbers ever. Others, including Cleveland, saw their highest death tolls in years.

On Wednesday, Cleveland police were investigating the city's 116th homicide of the year - the most since 1996.

In Cincinnati, city officials contend that 90 percent of homicides are drug related.
