TOL GANG VIOLENCE



 

TOL GANG VIOLENCE 

IN NORTHWEST OHIO, A FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADER DISAGREES WITH TOLEDO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S GANG VIOLENCE ASSESSMENT OF THE OLD WEST END MASS SHOOTING. 
CHIEF MICHAEL TRENDLEY SAYS THE VIOLENCE DOESN'T REFLECT THE TRADITIONAL GANG CONFLICTS TOLEDO SAW DECADES AGO. HOWEVER, FORMER DETECTIVE CHRIS GILL BELIEVES THE SHOOTING SHOWS GANG ACTIVITY HAS SIMPLY EVOLVED. GILL SAYS MODERN GANGS ARE OFTEN MADE-UP OF LOOSELY CONNECTED GROUPS THAT ARE HARDER TO IDENTIFY THAN THE GANGS OF THE 1990S. HE WORRIES SOMETHING BIGGER COULD BE ON THE HORIZON.
