You should try to find something more .gov to link to for statistics, rather than a PR company that flogs home security systems and devices.

How about this, from the Portland, Oregon police dept .gov domain: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/81203

   January 2019,  32 shootings
   January 2020,  50 shootings
   January 2021, 104 shootings
Lots of restless gang-bangers in Portland.

It doesn't help that Portland de-funded the gang enforcement team a while ago. It also doesn't help that some are agitating to abolish the police entirely.

Now Portland is making a big deal of getting FBI and state help to deal with this growing problem.

Yes, it's an anecdote, but you can find many similar anecdotes from all around the country.
