Updated Violent Crime Initiative stats

UPDATE: We got a little more information about the results of the sweep I wanted to share. Through the course of this three-day operation, police got new leads and/or conducted additional interviews in eight unsolved homicide cases and seven unsolved shootings.

Yesterday, I gave totals at a press conference of what our two-day Violent Crimes Initiative has accomplished. Since that time, more arrests, drugs and cleared warrants have rolled in, and I wanted to update you. Here is a spreadsheet of everything this operation has accomplished so far (Remember, we're out canvassing for information in three unsolved homicides today, so it's not over yet.):
