One City Tried Something Radical to Stop Gun Violence. This Report Suggests It's Working.

Last year I told you about a radical new approach to reducing gun violence in Richmond, California, a city that had suffered for years under the toll of one of the nation's highest homicide rates. The city threw money and police at the problem, but the rate of fatal (and non-fatal) shootings remained. The human toll wasstaggering. In 2007, the low point, there were 45  homicides involving a firearm in the city of 106,000.
