Meanwhile there were 114 reported incidents of shootings without injuries as of July 15 compared to just 14 in 2014. However despite this significant increase in the number of shooting incidents and victims the almost eleven month total of shooting related deaths at that point matched the previous decade low of 22 gun deaths for 2013 and the total number of homicides had potential to be the lowest number since TPS began publicly releasing the figures in 2005. Since then the city has seen an increase in shootings with 407 shootings in 2016 and 392 that following year As of November 20 2018 Toronto had the highest homicide rate among major Canadian cities with a rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people Its current homicide rate is higher than in Winnipeg Calgary Edmonton Vancouver Ottawa Montreal Hamilton New York City San Diego and Austin. Although this rate is an exaggerated spike primarily caused by the Toronto van attack which murdered 10 people on April 23 2018 the rate is still 3.1 (per 100,000 people) without this and still highest among the listed Canadian cities the 3 highest homicide years in the past decade are the most recent three reversing the downward trend that followed after the "year of the gun."!
