In Chicago, 53 people were shot and eight died. In New York, the numbers are going up 100, 150, 200 percent it's crazy what's going on.

President Donald Trump's numbers on crime in Chicago were accurately referring to the Labor Day weekend where at least eight people were killed in shootings and total of 53 others were wounded, according to CBS Local. But Trump exaggerated the numbers in New York where shootings are up by 93 percent so far this year, but overall crime is down about 1.5 percent, according to an AP fact check.
