[CliffD]

The Chicago Police Department posted the city’s 2014 first quarter crime figures Tuesday, indicating the lowest number of homicides since 1958, according to local ABC affiliate Eyewitness 7 News, which reported:

The first three months of the year saw 6 fewer murders than the same time frame in 2013–a 9 percent drop–and 55 fewer murders than 2012, according to a statement from Chicago Police.

    There were 90 fewer shootings and 119 fewer shooting victims, drops of 26 and 29 percent respectively, according to police statistics. Compared to the first quarter of 2012, there have been 222 fewer shootings and 292 fewer shooting victims.

Of course the decline was attributed to 'intelligent policing'

There new IL CC laws are too recent to have any statistical framework yet.  That will take years.

...two males, described as a tall male and a short male.

How will the authorities ever catch them with such an incomplete description?   Is there more that could be said?

Oh, the Press, Media and their protection rackets!
