CHICAGO (CBS) - Mayor Rahm Emanuel says Chicago police are making strong moves to confront continuing city violence-which has included violent attacks at funerals.
The mayor expressed anger that people have been shooting and carrying guns at gang-member funerals.
"The police department is going to change the way they deal with gang funerals," he said. "If you cannot respect a place of worship, at a time of a funeral, we are going to show a different type of attitude."
The funerals will be treated as "gang events," with mourners being searched and patted down, among other security measures.
