ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Police Chief spoke on Thursday about their efforts to reduce crime on Thursday following a number of violent incidents in the city over the past year, including last summer's shooting that injured nine people.
Orlando police still do not have any arrests from that shooting in downtown Orlando last summer, but believe it was gang related. Nine people were injured when a gunman opened fire after a fight causing people to run for their lives.
Since then, police stepped up patrols downtown and city leaders proposed a new bar moratorium that could require bars to close down at midnight instead of 2 a.m. and foot the bill for more security.
