Chicago city council blasts Mayor Johnson canceling ShotSpotter: 'Campaign promise at the expense of lives'
Fox News
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continued his calls to shut down the gunshot detection system ShotSpotter on Monday ahead of an upcoming city council vote to keep it.
"$100 million for walkie-talkies on a pole," Johnson said. "And the reason why they said we needed it was to reduce gun violence. It didn't do that." Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
The ShotSpotter technology has used a network of acoustic sensors to detect the location of gunfire and relay information to the police since 2012.
