Mayor Johnson reiterates veto stance on ShotSpotter, so what happens next?

1 min read

Barring a last-minute extension, the company behind the ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology says work will begin Monday on the removal of sensors around the city.

The City Council on Wednesday voted 33-14 to give police Supt. Larry Snelling power over the city’s contract with SoundThinking. Mayor Brandon Johnson called the measure illegal and vowed to veto the council’s action. A spokesman for Snelling declined to comment Thursday.

WGN’s Jenna Barnes reports on the story.
