Interracial Murder Rate Growing

Scripps Howard News Service -- The slaying of Trayvon Martin in Florida and the recent shooting spree of five blacks in Oklahoma are part of a broader, but little-noticed, change in how Americans kill each other.

The rate of interracial murder is growing. Over the past 30 years, black-on-white murders rose from 6 percent of all homicides to 8 percent, according to a study of 550,000 homicide reports assembled by Scripps Howard News Service from FBI and local police reports. White-on-black killings rose from 3 to 4 percent. All other racial combinations rose from 3 to 5 percent.
