Hmmm. And they even ban guns in Chicago, don't they? Here's something Chicagoans can celebrate. Or is it? Police Supt. Garry McCarthy announced Thursday the city of Chicago went 24 hours without a murder or shooting. Wednesday marked Chicago's first shooting- and murder-free day for almost a year. Early 2011 was the last time the city was this still, McCarthy said. "This is clearly the result of the tremendous police work of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department," McCarthy said in a statement, noting the CPD's efforts to move more officers to the streets since May.
