Alicia Robinson told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS her family was victimized by a home invasion in December, and for the first time in 32 years, she doesn't feel entirely safe in her neighborhood.

"I hear gunshots outside the house, or in the neighborhood, at least once a week," said Robinson. "I would like to see more police officers on the street because I think it is the one thing these kids who are doing all this understand."

So far, in January 2020 — compared to January 2019 — homicides, injuries from gunshots and reports of shots fired are all on the rise in St. Paul.
