CHICAGO (CBS) -- According to dispatch recordings, a ShotSpotter sensor alerted police to the shooting that killed Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca nearly 5 minutes before the first 911 caller early Sunday morning.
Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday was asked repeatedly about this revelation and his plan to scrap ShotSpotter technology.
The first sign that Officer Huesca was in trouble came in at 2:53 a.m. Sunday, in the form of a ShotSpotter alert for four rounds fired at 5501 S. Kedzie Ave. It was not for another 4 minutes and 50 seconds that a 911 caller picked up the phone, reporting a man on the ground about a block away at 3135 W. 56th St.

“2:53 AM” and “5501 S. Kedzie Ave”
A protected location in a privileged neighborhood.
Carry on.
The mayor is an absolute communist nitwit who is a DEI icon.
No surprise the people who want to defund the police want to get rid of ShotSpotter too.
When seconds count....
Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties here have that system.
It works.
Basically it’s simple triangulation of sound levels picked up by microphones.............
It works so of course this racist, Marxist punk wants to shut it down.
IIRC, once the Shot Spotter is triggered, it alerts dispatch to send available units to the general location. So did the dispatch ignore the alert and wait for another 9-1-1 call to dispatch other units?
They want ShotSpotter removed because cities face lawsuits for illegally withholding the damning information of just how many shots are fired in cities. The cities can't afford to have the property values and bond ratings drop further.
They also can't afford to have public advocacy groups identify the appalling lack of response to most of the shots detected.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Areas of Houston have it as well.
It was supposed to be removed under the lefty Sylvester Turner & Dora the Explorer (Lina Hidalgo, the county judge), but it’s still in some ‘hoods.
On what the mayor put the late officer's family through.
Per the above...
‘...“At one point, there was an implication that the honors funeral is tied to the mayor’s attendance. That was the guilt trip that we’re laying on this family,” Catanzara said....’
I won’t print the rest of what I’m thinking.
