At least 14 Chicago City Council members have signed on to an ordinance that would keep the controversial ShotSpotter gunshot detection system operational.
"It's now the entire city of Chicago, because now the people who create these heinous crimes, they're saying if I’m not going to be chased, let me go to the more affluent areas and get more bang for my buck," said Alderman Anthony Beale.
Chicago's public safety committee called for several city and council leaders to testify Friday to explain what they are doing to keep people safe from the surge in carjackings.
