Mark Opper called 911 and told an operator: 'I just sh- ... my gun went off. I killed my wife,' indicating a possible admission of guilt.

According to FBI statistics, violent crime in 2024 fell to its lowest level since 1969. The picture appeared even more encouraging in 2025, when the nation's murder rate dropped by roughly 20%, accompanied by declines across other major crime categories.
