"the District of Columbia police chief declared a crime emergency Tuesday in response to a string of violence that included the killing of British activist and political volunteer Alan Senitt. Senitt's death was one of 13 homicides this month, police said. In the past 30 days, robberies have increased 14 percent and assaults with deadly weapons jumped 18 percent. The move allows commanders more flexibility to adjust officers' schedules and reassign them to high-crime areas. Senitt was found with his throat slit early Sunday."
Homicidal Throat slitting seems to be a growing crime wave.
