CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is making some moves this morning in order to deal with the recent increase in shootings in some parts of the city.

McCarthy said the moves being made are as part of an evolutionary process to get the right people in the right place to fight crime.
