2021 Q1 Shots Fired Report: Addressing the increase in violence

information from King County

In the first three months of 2021, there were 16 homicide victims across King County, another 53 non-fatal shooting victims and 253 total shots fired incidents.

“It’s not just a King County issue, it’s a national trend across America’s largest cities where we’ve seen a murder rate increase of about 38 percent,” King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg told KIRO Radio.

Our office launched the Shots Fired project in 2017 to take a public health approach to gun violence — and through data analysis and our expanding community partnerships we are working to understand which individuals and communities are at highest risk, and utilize both prevention and intervention approaches to keep King County residents safe.
