New map reveals most dangerous places to live - see where Birmingham ranks
Birmingham has been ranked as one of the most dangerous areas to live in the UK, according to a new crime map. Towns and cities in England and Wales have been rated based on crime rates, revealing the parts of the Midlands where you are statistically most likely to become a victim. Areas were listed according to their crime rates - the number of offences that happen per 100,000 residents living there.

It has a crime rate of 117.3 per 100,000 people for the year ending March 2025, though the rate was down three per cent on the previous year. Solihull came 135th in the rankings, with one in every 13 people suffering from crime. The crime rate here is also down by four per cent. See where your area ranks in the new interactive map below: In the wider Midlands, Leicester has a higher offending rate and is placed 24th on the list, while Stoke-on-Trent is not far behind in 31st. Wolverhampton is lower down the list in 50th place (104.4 per 100,000 people), while Sandwell and Walsall have identical crime rates (98), putting them in 73rd place nationally. Avon and Somerset, and Devon and Cornwall Police saw the biggest drop in non-fraud crime, by 12 per cent in both police force areas. Gloucestershire Constabulary saw the biggest increase in non-fraud crime, by 12 per cent, with around 6,500 more offences. Of community safety partnership areas, which are broadly similar to council areas, Derbyshire Dales saw the biggest increase in crime, by 20 per cent. Middlesbrough remains the most dangerous place to live in England and Wales. Last year there were more than 23,000 crimes in the North East city. While that was a 5 per cent fall from the previous year, it still added up to a crime rate of 158 offences for every 1,000 people.

What We Know About the Montana Bar Shooting
A shooting at a local dive bar in a small Montana town killed four people, prompting a manhunt for the gunman that has stretched into the weekend and rattled residents. The authorities identified Michael Brown, 45, as a suspect in the shooting that took place on Friday morning. It was the deadliest in Montana since 2015. Mr. Brown is an Army veteran who has struggled with mental health issues, according to his relatives, and lived close to the bar. The violent attack rocked the town, Anaconda, a tightly knit community in Deer Lodge County. Some people said they would now lock their doors at night for the first time in years; others said they would carry firearms for protection. Here's what we know so far about the shooting. What Happened in the Attack Around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, the gunman opened fire inside the Owl Bar, killing four people before fleeing the scene and veering onto a dirt road on the outskirts of town. Footage from a security camera shows a man leaving the bar after the shooting, according to the Division of Criminal Investigation at the Montana Department of Justice, which shared the image and identified the person as Mr. Brown. He appeared gaunt in the video, and was shirtless and wearing dark shorts. The circumstances of the attack and what might have motivated it are unclear. The identities of the four people who were killed have not been released, though officials said Saturday that three of the victims were patrons and one was a bartender.
