Woodbridge is most likely looking at a record high already closing out July; if not, I'm very surprised. A pair of triple murders amped the rate up, but even without those it'd be a higher rate than usual by this time. Definitely the worst of the worst in NOVA, living up to its reputation. A lot of shooting incidents involving teens.

Woodbridge has been on the news alot this year. Something must be going on out there.
The area between Suitland, Capital Heights, District Heights, Forestville in PG County have been bad this year already 22 murders for about 49k ppl.
Slowly improving...will see if other crimes come down as well.

Definitely living up to that "Hoodbridge" moniker .
One of the triple shooting is technically in Dale City, though...but I was googling and gosh, all the 16-18 years old shooting each other .
Yeah Cleveland is going through it right now. As of July 26
NOLA - +40/100k
Cleveland - 32.2/100k
St. Louis - 30.7/100k
Baltimore - 25.7/100k
Won't sugar coat it, Cleveland is having an even worse year than normal. But most of the city is about where it usually is outside the far northeast side which is going crazy.
I don't think the headlines locally have caught up to what is driving it. I'm definitely not privy to why there is seemingly nightly shootings in Glenville/Forest Hills/Collinwood. But something is going on up there. Granted those have been high murder areas for decades but not to this extent.
