Following a bloody holiday weekend where gun violence claimed the lives of 11, including a 13-year-old boy, and wounded more than 40 others, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday discussed out his plan to address Chicago's gang problems. Emanuel was joined by Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy in stating that the city will work to coordinate gang reduction with community policing strategies, ABC Chicago reports. The approach will include gang audits which cross-reference intelligence and better predict gang action by looking for patterns between individual behavior, turf overlaps and ongoing feuds. Gangs, according to the mayor, were responsible for the bulk of the weekend's shootings. Further, the strategy will target liquor and convenience stores the mayor believes are instrumental to attracting gangs and spurring on criminal activity. BLOG POSTS
