Worth noting in all such statistics that homicides are not necessarily murders.
person killing person = homicide
Killing a rapist in an act of self-defense is still a homicide.
Homicide + illegal intent = murder
It would be very instructive to have stats breaking down the 11,101 homicides into self-defense versus murder, then how many of the “murders” were criminals killing each other. CDC/gov’t is unlikely to reveal this directly, but I wonder if something can be deduced from DOJ/FBI crime stats.
