Chicago’s police chief announced late Monday that the city will deploy 1,200 additional police officers to “hot zones” experiencing an increase in violence, in hopes of containing a wave of shootings that has left dozens dead — including at least 10 children — and hundreds wounded.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown announced that officers will work additional shifts from Thursday until Sunday and focus on controlling violence on the city’s south and west sides over the holiday weekend. The department will also be working proactively to control crowds gathering in violent areas before shooting breaks out.
