Where do Chicago guns come from? New data analyzed by the ABC7 I-Team found less than half of all guns used in crimes in Illinois came from Illinois.
CHICAGO -- Every day and night in metro Chicago there is a behind-the-scenes gun battle underway between law enforcement and criminals to trace the flow of illegal guns, track and arrest people who use them, and ultimately interrupt one supply chain that authorities wish would slow down.
Christian Hoffman, Assistant Special Agent in Charge for ATF-Chicago, helped run a day-long training session in Aurora Tuesday with nearly three dozen suburban police departments instructing on the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, also known as NIBIN. The day long instruction program also included federal and state prosecutors, as firearm statutes, case procedures and investigative tips were also on the menu."This is how we're actually catching some of the suspects who have gotten away, who were not caught, and the only thing they leave behind is the evidence of their fire shell casings," she said.
