In just the past three days there have been four shootings in downtown Chicago – nine people have been shot, two of them were killed, and three of them were caught in crossfire.
We have asked city officials about safety and changes for weeks. On Tuesday, CBS 2's Tara Molina took a closer look at the crime.
Police said a 26-year-old woman crossing the street at the time of the shooting and was shot in the leg. She was taken to Stroger Hospital in fair condition. Supt. Brown on Tuesday made a point of saying the department doesn't view violence in the city differently based on where it happens. Data show crime in the Loop is way up from last year, but is on pace with how things looked back in 2020 – and technically down, overall, in 2019. The latest data available are from last week, before this recent violence.
"We're putting together immediate plans that will start this week to add more resources to our downtown neighborhood," Brown said.
