In a press conference Wednesday, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown talked about more policing efforts in the summer months. "We have the support system from street outreach, other neighborhood organizations that support us, work together with police, to do many of the long-term solutions around poverty, affordable housing, transportation, jobs, education and mental health treatment," he said.
This latest shooting came just hours after two young boys, ages 6 and 11, were shot while standing with two adults. They are all expected to recover.
