Trump Threatens to "Send in the Feds" to Address Gun Violence in Chicago
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump is threatening federal intervention in Chicago to address
shootings and gun violence. In a tweet Tuesday night that made reference
to his inaugural address, he wrote, "If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible
'carnage' going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from
2016), I will send in the Feds!"
